Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) used to differentiate their products based on mechanical features. Today, however, consumers increasingly want features defined by software, such as driver assistance, connectivity, and comfort-convenience services. The convergence of technology areas including electrification, autonomous driving, shared mobility, and connectivity is causing OEMs to migrate from the traditional hardpoint-defined architecture to a software-oriented architecture. These trends are reshaping customer expectations and forcing OEMs to address them in new-generation vehicles, thereby turning vehicles into software on wheels.
Similar to the mobile phone industry, the automotive industry is experiencing a sort of rebirth. Increasingly, industry participants are spending more R&D budget on software development and turning themselves into software companies. OEMs will deploy different strategies to develop proprietary software based on their capabilities, some developed in-house and others co-developed with partners.
This study includes research, analysis, forecasts, and an overview of industry spending on in-vehicle software development. It aims to provide an overview of trends impacting software development and a discussion on the impact these trends have on the growth, deployment, and R&D strategies of different OEMs, suppliers, and industry stakeholders.
