Essential weekly analysis of developments shaping the future of automotive software, electronics and software-defined vehicles
The latest edition of the Software-Defined Vehicle Intelligence Brief examines Xpeng’s offer to license its SDV stack to other automakers, using its Volkswagen partnership as a template. This could signal a future trend in centralised architectures and AI-driven ADAS, while also giving Xpeng a revenue stream beyond the reach of EU vehicle tariffs and raising questions in Europe over Chinese technology inside locally built cars.
Elsewhere, Schaeffler and Qorix team up on joint SDV platforms built on the open-source Eclipse S-CORE framework; Tier IV readies Autoware for Arm processors; and Denza plans a 2027 over-the-air city navigation assistance update in Europe, subject to type approval.
