The software-defined vehicle is becoming one of the most important architectural shifts in the automotive industry, changing how vehicles are designed, developed, updated and monetised across their lifecycle. The move toward SDVs is about more than adding new software features to a vehicle. It requires a fundamental rethink of the vehicle’s electrical and electronic architecture,…
Automotive IQ recently brought together more than 1,000 senior industry leaders from around the world to explore the key technological, safety, and trust challenges that will shape the next decade of autonomous mobility. During the event, Florian Rohde, Managing Partner at iProcess LLC, and Dr. Sheikh Mahbub Habib, Head of Product Cybersecurity and Privacy Innovation…
In a featured session at Automotive IQ’s online Autonomous Vehicle event, David Doria, Director of Engineering – Automated Driving at Magna International, moderated an engaging panel discussion with Ahmed Abutabl, Engineering Director and Head of Global Software Engineering – Body Control at FORVIA HELLA, and Sergey Malygin, CEO of SODA.Auto. Together, the panel explored the…
At Automotive IQ’s recent online Autonomous Vehicle event, industry experts came together to discuss the technological and organisational challenges that must be addressed to bring scalable, safe, and trusted autonomous systems to market. Across three panel discussions, several common themes emerged: the need to scale AI beyond proof-of-concept deployments, the importance of earning public trust,…
For decades, satellite communication was the domain of television broadcast and telephony — a mature, static technology orbiting reliably at 35,800 km above the earth. That era is ending. Low Earth Orbit (LEO) constellations operated by SpaceX, Amazon, and others are rewriting the economics and physics of satellite connectivity, and the implications for the automotive…

As AI becomes embedded across ADAS, autonomous driving, driver monitoring and software-defined vehicle platforms, automotive companies are facing a new layer of regulatory pressure. The EU AI Act introduces a risk-based framework for artificial intelligence, with major implications for how OEMs and suppliers develop, validate and monitor AI-enabled vehicle systems. But how exactly does this…
The Cyber Resilience Act, or CRA, is the EU’s new horizontal cybersecurity regulation for hardware and software products with digital elements. Its purpose is to make cybersecurity a baseline requirement for products placed on the EU market, rather than something treated as an optional feature or post-sale support function. For the automotive industry, the Cyber…
The EU Battery Passport is almost here. This phased compliance program under Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 will become mandatory from 18 February 2027 for electric-vehicle batteries, batteries for light means of transport, and industrial batteries above 2 kWh placed or put into service on the EU market. The passport is intended to make battery information accessible…
The automotive industry has spent the past decade debating propulsion. Batteries versus hydrogen has dominated boardrooms, policy frameworks, and investment strategies. Yet this framing is increasingly incomplete. The defining shift in mobility is no longer about what powers the vehicle, but how that power is managed, optimised, and continuously improved through software. As electrification matures,…
