“The vehicle has long become software
on four wheels,” says Georg
List, AVL Head of Corporate Strategy.
And it’s not just the vehicle
that is becoming software-oriented.
The traditional sales model is
also being disrupted by software.
Over-the-air-updates make it possible
for additional driver assistance
systems and functions to be purchased
or new performance characteristics
to be made available without
a visit to the mechanics. The car
and the driver experience are constantly
changing, even after it has
been sold.
But there are dangers too. As everything
becomes connected, the
associated risks must be analyzed
and managed cautiously. Cybersecurity
has become a major issue for
car makers. And functional safety
in the electrified and connected car
is an equally big issue today as it
was in the era of the internal combustion
engine.
At AVL we offer a wide range of
solutions for this new age, covering
everything from simulation
and testing tools to embedded software
development services. These
are based on four guiding principles:
delivering software that grows
with you, reducing the burden of
complexity, finding the fastest solutions
and answering tomorrow’s
problems with today’s innovations.
Join us as we redefine key characteristics
for the Car Quartet of the
21st century.
