Open source, open roads

The software-defined vehicle era isn’t merely on the horizon, it has already arrived. What once felt like a distant vision for the automotive world is now reshaping products, business models, and competitive dynamics in real time. As vehicles become increasingly intelligent, connected, and updatable, the industry finds itself standing at the edge of a significant paradigm shift.

Part 1 of our new Eclipse SDV thought leadership report takes a clear, in-depth look at this transformation. It explores what the software-defined vehicle means, why this shift is accelerating right now, and how the broader ecosystem is evolving to meet new technical and organisational demands.
