Defining a Software-Defined Vehicle
What you’ll learn:
- What is a software-defined vehicle (SDV)?
- What tools do developers need to design an SDV?
Siemens provides a wide range of design tools for developing hardware and software, including those targeted at software-defined vehicles (SDVs). In this episode of Inside Electronics, I talk with David Fritz, Vice President of Hybrid and Virtual Systems at Siemens, about SDVs and the need for advanced tools and simulation support to meet the safety requirements while providing the functionality of higher SAE levels (see figure).
David talks about successive approximation and improvement over time and how Siemens tools facilitate this process.

I earned a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology and a Masters in Computer Science from Rutgers University. I still do a bit of programming using everything from C and C++ to Rust and Ada/SPARK. I do a bit of PHP programming for Drupal websites. I have posted a few Drupal modules.
I still get a hand on software and electronic hardware. Some of this can be found on our Kit Close-Up video series. You can also see me on many of our TechXchange Talk videos. I am interested in a range of projects from robotics to artificial intelligence.
