## Roots of this Project

In 2023, Dirk Slama (Bosch/Steinbeis FSTI), Achim Nonnenmacher (ETAS), and Thomas Irawan (ETAS) published the foundational *Software-Defined Vehicle* 👉 [ebook](https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/the-software-defined-vehicle/9781098157814) with O'Reilly. This pioneering work introduced key concepts and provided a solid starting point for understanding the SDV paradigm.&#x20;

Building on this foundation, the *SDV Guide* has been re-imagined as a much more comprehensive resource, expanding the original content to five distinct parts. These additions dive deeper into the evolving SDV ecosystem, offering advanced topics, real-world case studies, and the latest industry insights. Far from being a mere extension or copy, the *SDV Guide* delivers a robust framework for practitioners, researchers, and innovators, shaping the future of automotive software development.
