As the automotive industry races toward software-defined mobility, the lack of a common definition of SDV maturity creates more than a technical challenge it makes it harder to align investments, prioritize roadmaps, evaluate partnerships, and measure progress. In this fireside chat, panelists will explore the Digital Vehicle Maturity Level framework, a seven-level model that tracks the progression from hardware-defined vehicles through software-defined platforms and toward emerging AI-defined vehicles. The conversation will examine how a shared maturity framework can create a common language across engineering, product, procurement, and business leadership and help companies better understand where they are today, where they want to go, and what capabilities and investments are required to get there. Along the way, the discussion will connect key technical milestones including OTA, hardware-software decoupling, open APIs, and AI-driven capabilities to the business opportunities, organizational challenges, and strategic decisions that accompany each stage of SDV maturity.
