Once and awhile we review the various automotive industry software failures hitting the news headlines, not with the purpose to embarrass any particular automotive manufacturer but rather to highlight that in most cases such failures could have been avoided with
Among the many changes that fast evolving technology is causing today, one advancement seems to emerge as the most obvious and as having the greatest impact on our everyday lives. Autonomous (self-driving) vehicle technology was a long-time engineering dream depicted
Following up on last week’s industry forecast for medical technology developers, let’s see what 2016 holds for car manufacturers and companies involved in the development of products for the automotive industry. 2015 has been a record year in the US
With dozens or even hundreds of suppliers, various industry regulations to adhere to, and an immense volume of software code, automotive development processes are perhaps among the most complex lifecycles that companies face. There could be over 100 million lines
Building an autonomous (driverless) car has entertained the imagination of automotive companies since the earliest days of automobiles. The idea has first popped up in a newspaper back in 1926, and has continued to haunt the dreams of automotive developers
Approximately 30 Million cars will be produced in the European Union and the United States in 2015, from an estimated total of 90+ Million produced world wide. Manufactures in Germany, Spain and France producing the most in the EU area.
Embedded electronics and software are more and more heavily used in modern road vehicles, increasing the complexity of development processes. In order to reduce or mitigate the risks introduced by this complexity, various automotive industry standards have been devised by
Globalization has lead to the continual geographical redeployment of manufacturing facilities to lower cost business environments as manufacturers seek the ever elusive competitive edge. Product development has become more complex, with consumers demanding ever more advanced features, requiring a mix of embedded electronics
The automotive sector is a highly regulated industry, and for good reason: with millions of vehicles running on dirt roads and in the fast lanes of modern motorways across the globe, accidents are bound to happen. On such densely populated
The importance of managing risks in safety-critical industries such as the medical field, the automotive sector and other transport industries (railway, aviation etc) cannot be emphasized enough. The lives of human users may depend on such devices, so their safety
