Software in most organizations evolved in the last twenty years and has burgeoned in the last few years. Mechatronic and electronic systems are replacing the older mechanical systems. The move to electrical and autonomous vehicles has accelerated this change. The automotive industry has yet to recognize the importance of software. In many cases, the software is not fully integrated into the management systems of the organization. Join us to understand the “Best Practices in Automotive Software”.
