The transition will not be easy, however.
For traditional OEMs, that are still supporting and developing legacy models, this is a vision that could take many years to achieve. For this to transpire, there are three things that will need to happen first. This includes:
- Industry commitment to a centralised architecture
- Over investment in parallel systems
- Built-in redundancy and regulatory collaboration
In our latest whitepaper, supported by Cognizant Mobility, we take a deep dive into how the whole industry – OEMs, tier 1 suppliers, semiconductor designers and cloud providers – can work together to achieve this cloud-first SDV vision.

“Ultimately, there needs to be a common framework that allows software developers to create applications without detailed knowledge of specific ECUs. With the automotive industry no longer needing to work with – and to maintain – so many separate ECU platforms, there will be enormous cost savings. A centralised architecture will provide simplicity and enable cloud-first development.”
“Centralising the architecture will involve integrating an ecosystem of potentially hundreds of applications. With the software architecture becoming much larger, it will become harder to keep it bug-free, making it more difficult for regulators to certify systems. While there are already attempts being made to develop safety architecture that can address this problem, there is no doubt that this added complexity poses a massive challenge.”
