The automotive industry is undergoing a significant transformation with the increasing use of software and computerized systems in vehicles. To address the rising complexity of these systems, Siemens Digital Industries Software has launched PAVE360 Automotive, a new digital twin software that enables automotive manufacturers and suppliers to speed up the development of software-defined vehicles. This technology allows for early full-system, virtual integration that mirrors real vehicle hardware, accelerating both application and low-level software development for advanced driver-assistance systems, autonomous driving, and in-vehicle infotainment systems.
PAVE360 Automotive is a pre-integrated, off-the-shelf offering that removes the need for customers to build their own digital twins before testing software, significantly reducing time to market from months to days. This “virtual blueprint for digital twin development” empowers automotive companies to innovate with confidence, agility, and scale, realizing the full potential of software-defined vehicles. Siemens’ President and CEO, Tony Hemmelgarn, believes that PAVE360 Automotive will set the standard for what’s possible across all industries.
Siemens has collaborated with Arm Holdings, a British semiconductor and software design company, to integrate Arm Zena Compute Subsystems with PAVE360 Automotive. This integration enables the industry to start building on Arm faster and more seamlessly than ever before, accelerating the development of software by up to two years. Suraj Gajendra, VP of products and solutions at Arm, notes that as vehicles become increasingly AI-defined, automakers and silicon partners need new ways to manage rising complexity without slowing innovation.
The launch of PAVE360 Automotive is a significant development in the automotive industry, enabling companies to manage the system-level interdependencies of advanced driver-assistance systems, autonomous driving, and in-vehicle infotainment systems. With its pre-integrated and off-the-shelf design, PAVE360 Automotive is poised to revolutionize the way automotive manufacturers and suppliers approach software development, reducing time to market and increasing innovation. As the automotive industry continues to evolve, Siemens’ digital twin technology is likely to play a key role in shaping the future of software-defined vehicles.
