In the past, understanding how a car worked was as easy as examining its engine. With the rise of electric, autonomous, and hybrid vehicles, things have become more complex. Modern cars are equipped with a significant amount of software that not only improves user experience but also provides safety and convenience features. As a result, this software must be developed with safety and security as top priorities.
An Increase in Electric Vehicles
Electric cars made up 10 per cent of all new cars sold in 2022. Therefore 45 per cent of electric vehicles have a significant influence on their design work. Although EVs are becoming increasingly important, the top priority for automotive professionals remains the safety of their vehicles.
The rise in the number of electronic parts in vehicles has made ISO 26262 essential for electric vehicles, as it covers all of the electrical and electronic systems present in vehicles.
An Emphasis on Maximising Resources and Talent
One of the main factors affecting automotive organisations is the global economy, along with other related issues such as inflation, the transition to remote work, hybrid chain problems, and chip shortages, which have also been identified as major concerns.
Despite a decline in the automotive industry in 2022, vehicle sales are expected to recover this year, with a five per cent increase in new consumer and commercial vehicle sales. However, to meet this growing demand, manufacturers and suppliers must allocate their resources effectively to increase production levels.
Automotive Software Security Remains as Important as Safety
The concerns regarding automotive software security risks lead to driving the development team to adopt stronger security practices. The approach involves performing tests at an earlier stage in the software development life cycle to detect vulnerabilities, bugs, and errors more effectively and fix them.
The automotive industry is undergoing significant changes and challenges as it adapts to growing market demands and the integration of new technologies such as electric, autonomous, and hybrid vehicles. Automotive professionals are placing a strong emphasis on ensuring the safety and security of vehicles, with ISO 26262 being an essential compliance standard. To address the challenges of compliance and software verification, the use of static analysis tools is becoming increasingly popular. As the industry continues to evolve, developers must stay up-to-date on trends and industry standards to ensure that they are producing safe and secure software for vehicles.
