Infotainment is no longer just about user experience — it’s becoming a leading root cause of vehicle recalls, lawsuits, and brand damage. This talk reveals why traditional testing keeps greenlighting real-world failures, why task forces keep getting formed too late, and how software complexity keeps outpacing validation. We’ll expose the systemic gaps in current QA approaches and present a practical model for shifting stability analysis left, starting in virtual environments and scaling across the entire development cycle. We’ll also discuss how various COVESA activities are contributing to higher software quality. Whether you’re a developer, technical lead, or program manager, join us to learn how to stop chasing bugs after launch — and start preventing them before SOP. You will learn how: • Infotainment issues are driving recalls and lawsuits, not just bad UX anymore • Traditional QA misses real-world failures; late task forces aren’t the answer • Learn a proactive model to shift validation left using scalable virtual environments
