Automotive Software
Exhaustive bug detection for ISO 26262, ISO 21434, SOTIF
Industry Overview
Modern vehicles today can contain hundreds of millions of lines of code. Autonomous driving, ADAS systems, and a rise in connectivity are driving the trend of increasing software complexity and the need for more software verification and validation. Today’s software-defined vehicles will shift towards centralized ECUs in order to accommodate the complexity behind the increase in software for driver assistance systems, the self-driving mechanisms, and the hyper-connectivity. This is a trend that creates new challenges for software development.
Challenges encountered in this sector
In the midst of growth, the automotive sector is facing a number of challenges in terms of software development. Even as software complexity has increased exponentially, productivity has lagged behind. Because software complexity in the automotive market is expected to continue to grow at rates never seen before, OEMs and Tier 1s need to find ways to increase their productivity to close the gap with software complexity, as well as comply with stricter safety and cybersecurity standards.
Growing software complexity
As software is growing in complexity and criticality, it is more than ever essential to ensure code quality. With new functionalities like autonomous driving and ADAS, more connectivity, and more ECU/MCU centralization, software development teams need to find new tools and testing processes to maximize their efficiency to keep up with this growth in complexity.
Increase in Verification & Validation
With an increase in complex software functionalities comes the need for more verification and validation of software. The number of lines of code in vehicles is expected to skyrocket, and that means there will be much more software in safety-critical scenarios that will need to be verified to check for any underlying bugs that could trigger safety and security issues in the field.
New and evolving software standards
New vehicle functionalities like autonomous driving, ADAS and more connectivity with cellular and Bluetooth devices means more potential attack surfaces and more safety implications. Software developers will have to comply with stringent standards like ISO 26262 and SOTIF on the safety side as well as ISO 21434 on the cybersecurity side.
