NXPI - Arm Working To Enable The Software-Defined Car

• Today’s automobiles are becoming increasingly digital devices. In fact, one might even argue that the next major computing device category is the car.
• As enticing as that vision may be, however, it has also run into several very real roadblocks. Most notably, automakers are not computer makers, and the gap between the skill sets required and the skill sets available is very real.
• Semiconductor IP leader Arm has worked with a consortium of leading automotive and tech industry players to create SOAFEE (Scalable Open Architecture For Embedded Edge), a new open industry standard whose goal is to provide a common framework and digital tool set for the automotive industry.
• By leveraging open-source principles, the consortium helps to build a library of software components that can be used by multiple companies, thereby dramatically increasing the rate of software advancements in the automotive space.
