SDV Enabling

SDV Enabling is the backbone of the ./pulse framework—the set of cross-cutting capabilities that turn bold architecture diagrams into real, revenue-generating vehicles. It spans hard numbers and investment logic, the culture and skills that power agile squads, the cloud-to-ECU toolchains that keep code flowing, the guard-rails that satisfy safety and regulators, and the partner ecosystem that accelerates innovation. In short: everything an OEM must line up before pressing the “go” button on a software-defined programme.

Business & Investment Enablement

• Goal: Provide a quantitative foundation for SDV decisions, from concept to post-sale services.

• Scope: SHIFT business-case framework, portfolio ROI dashboards, scenario modelling, revenue-share logic for OTA features.

• Outcome: Clear €/$ per vehicle, funding gates, and monetisation playbook accepted by CFO and strategy teams.

People, Skills & Culture Enablement

• Goal: Build the agile, cross-domain mindset and competencies SDV requires.

• Scope: Upskilling pathways, micro-learning labs, talent rotation, culture campaigns, change-management KPIs.

• Outcome: Workforce comfortable with continuous integration, cross-functional squads, and software-first thinking.

Technical Platform & Toolchain Enablement

• Goal: Deliver the hardware, software and DevSecOps pipelines that make fast iteration possible.

• Scope: SDV reference compute, cloud/hybrid CI / CD / CT, simulation farms, BYOD test rigs, shared data lakes, AI co-pilot tooling.

• Outcome: Reproducible builds, hour-level feedback loops, and self-service developer experience across E/E, cloud and mobile.

Governance, Safety & Compliance Enablement

• Goal: Ensure speed does not kill safety, security or regulatory approval.

• Scope: Agile FuSa workflows, continuous homologation, cybersecurity policy, SLA guard-rails, audit-ready traceability.

• Outcome: Releases that hit quarterly cadence and pass ISO 26262, UNECE R155/156, data-privacy and regional recalls with minimal friction.

Ecosystem & Partner Enablement

• Goal: Orchestrate suppliers, start-ups, and open-source communities in one coherent SDV programme.

• Scope: API & data-licence models, joint road-mapping, app-store governance, co-engineering spaces, standards alignment.

• Outcome: Faster feature onboarding, shared risk, and a plug-and-play marketplace that keeps the OEM core architecture clean.
