Software-Defined Vehicles are fundamentally changing how vehicles are engineered. Software is evolving continuously, development cycles are becoming shorter, and new functions and updates can reach vehicles throughout their lifecycle. Yet safety and cybersecurity engineering must maintain a level of rigor that cannot simply be traded for speed.
How can the industry reconcile these two demands? This panel brings together perspectives on how safety and security engineering processes must evolve for the SDV era. The discussion will explore engineering automation, continuous monitoring and triage, toolchain integration, and process changes that enable faster development without compromising safety or security. Rather than treating safety and security as gates at the end of development, the panel will examine how assurance can become an integrated, automated, and continuous part of the engineering lifecycle.
Key themes / takeaways
·Speed requires process transformation, not simply more engineering effort.
Safety and security assurance must become continuous.
The future is a holistic engineering ecosystem, not a collection of independent tools.
