Essentially, autonomous vehicles are not much different than a standard vehicle
but with a lot of sensors and a lot of software. That software development is the real key to making this happen. to make
Vehicles autonomous vehicles think and act better than human beings act. That's a really tough task
It's a daunting task
You've got to take a total systems approach to developing autonomous vehicles. It's an incredibly complex system.
You're connecting every part of your vehicle to one another: the steering, and braking, and interiors, and infotainment, and
Instrument panel are all connected. It's all one giant system.
You must take a total systems approach to developing these products,
from identifying all the requirements in every system,
tracing all those requirements, tracking them, developing them, verifying everything has a total system.
It really gets into our what we call system driven product development or SDPD. The systems approach that allows you to develop
complex products that we firmly believe is is the only way to safely develop
very, very complex products of the future.
