PreviousWelcomeNextPart A: Essentials

Last updated 5 months ago

Welcome to SDV101, the first part of the SDV Guide series. This guide accompanies the SDV101: Introduction to Software-Defined Vehicles course on Coursera, providing additional insights, explanations, and examples to support your learning journey. It is the successor to the successful Software-Defined Vehicle ebook by O'Reilly (Dirk Slama, Achim Nonnenmacher, Thomas Irawan).

Whether you are new to the world of Software-Defined Vehicles or looking to strengthen your understanding, this guide will serve as your reference throughout the course and beyond.

Let’s begin your journey into the exciting field of Software-Defined Vehicles!

Outline

Roots of this Project

In 2023, Dirk Slama (Bosch/Steinbeis FSTI), Achim Nonnenmacher (ETAS), and Thomas Irawan (ETAS) published the foundational Software-Defined Vehicle 👉 with O'Reilly. This pioneering work introduced key concepts and provided a solid starting point for understanding the SDV paradigm.

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.
