Software-defined vehicles (SDVs) use software to control operations, add new features and integrate innovative functionalities. While this software-centric approach enhances flexibility and accelerates innovation, it also introduces challenges such as cybersecurity risks, complex software management and hardware obsolescence.
Automotive manufacturers are in a race to distinguish themselves in the fast-evolving landscape of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving technologies. As competition intensifies, automakers are adopting diverse strategies to integrate these features, from enhancing safety and convenience with ADAS to pushing the boundaries with fully autonomous capabilities.
BMW recently initiated a global recall involving over 1.5 million vehicles— including the BMW 5 Series, 7 Series, Rolls-Royce Spectre, Mini Cooper, Mini Countryman and many BMW crossovers — citing issues with the integrated braking system (IBS) supplied by Continental AG. The defect lies in the brake-by-wire (BBW) technology, an innovative system that enhances braking efficiency through electronic signals rather than traditional hydraulic mechanisms. The defect in the IBS stems from interference in the electronic signals controlling the brakes, potentially leading to reduced braking efficiency. Although the system is designed with a backup
In the era of Industry 4.0, smart manufacturing is transforming the automotive landscape through the integration of digital twins and AI. These virtual replicas of physical assets are accelerating vehicle development, enhancing operational efficiency and driving innovation, making them essential for manufacturers aiming to stay competitive in a rapidly evolving market.
Autonomous emergency braking (AEB), a system first introduced in 2008 by Volvo as Volvo City Safety, has become the unlikely source of a rift between the US regulatory body the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the automakers’ representative body in the country, the Alliance for Automotive Innovation (AAI).
Each month, we leverage global light vehicle production actuals, registration data, and sales data to give you the most up-to-date, short-term production forecast available. Here's a close look at global production data by region and our updated September production forecast.
The electric vehicle charging space in India is powering up. The past few quarters have brought many announcements of collaborations between automakers, power companies, oil retailers, charging hardware manufacturers and service providers to expand the network of public EV charging stations across the country. However, the path is far from smooth with several obstacles remaining to be navigated around.
Key companies in the automotive and semiconductor industries have expressed concerns about a potential semiconductor shortage in the second half of 2025 or 2026. According to S&P Global Mobility, a shortage is likely, but only in mature nodes of 40 nanometers and above.
