SDV Pillars
Transformation in Structure
The automotive industry must adapt its hardware processes for SDV optimization to gain a competitive edge. NTT DATA leverages its software development and business transformation expertise to drive this change for automotive OEMs.
Transformation in Software Development
Development processes are shifting to a software-first approach as software quality directly impacts vehicle performance, value, and user experience. NTT DATA supports this transformation through continuous software development to meet dynamic market needs.
Software Management and OTA Advancements
OTA enhances vehicle performance and value over time with continuous feature updates, improvements, and personalization. Approval for safety-critical features and managing software versions for each vehicle are crucial to boosting competitiveness. NTT DATA enables advanced OTA requirements, ensuring effective and prompt updates.
Autonomous Driving Transformation
Advanced vehicle control leverages mobility and surrounding data to enable safer mobility experiences. Large-scale, AI-driven computation is essential to process vast data accurately and swiftly, with software determining performance instead of hardware specifications. NTT DATA accelerates this evolution through infrastructure and AI advancements.
Creating New Experiences/Solving Social Issues
Electronic components and ECU integration enable richer mobility data collection. Combining this with cross-industry data such as human flow, geographic, or medical data unlocks new possibilities in analysis and value creation. NTT DATA aims to transform user experiences and solve social issues through SDV.
