How VW leverages next-generation software stacks to converge group platforms and E/E architecture
With new software partners, restructured internal teams, clarified architecture, and regionalization strategies in place for North America and mainland China, the Volkswagen group has its eyes set on bringing the first SSP-powered vehicle to life in around 2028.
The Volkswagen group is going hard on software, which is now considered a core competency for the German automaker. The company is shifting from hardware-first development to “vehicle development starting from software”—meaning that the software stack drives hardware architecture, features and lifecycle of vehicles. The company places strong emphasis on in-house software development and governance—increasing the share of software developed internally to strengthen IP, reduce supplier reliance and enhance control.
