Why SDVs Demand Stronger Verification and Validation The shift to software‑defined vehicles (SDVs) is transforming automotive engineering—and multiplying its risks. As ECUs consolidate into centralized compute platforms and features increasingly rely on AI, machine learning, and over‑the‑air (OTA) updates, safety, cybersecurity, and reliability take center stage. This complexity makes verification and validation (V&V) more critical than ever. Regulators are tightening expectations […]
