Software Defined Vehicles – SDV Practice

Transform your SW platforms into SDV ready Architectures overcoming the limitations of legacy SW Systems
Software Defined Vehicles
Transform into digital-first innovators
HARMAN​ Automotive Engineering Services facilitate seamless vehicle/cloud software transformation with SDV architectures, leveraging hypervisors, SoA middleware, virtualization, containerization, cloud-native development and ECU SW refactoring.​


Even though hosting millions of lines of source code, most cars on the road today are "Hardware Defined Vehicles." Software functions are isolated in hundreds of single-purposed silver boxes connected by several kilometers of electrical wires. Legacy system architectures stifle innovation and incur high maintenance and reusability costs. The new SDV System Architectures consolidate all vehicle functions onto a few High-Power-Compute (HPC) nodes, rendering most silver boxes obsolete. However, this alone is insufficient.


To reduce costs and innovate on these platforms, software components must be able to be updated without updating the entire vehicle. With the elimination of electrical wires, methods are needed for software components to connect to each other safely and securely. Software components should be agnostic to a specific vehicle's hardware, including sensors and actuators, to enable reusability across various OEMs and brands. 

HARMAN Automotive Engineering Services strives to maintain impartiality towards technologies while actively supporting emerging technologies. By staying abreast of trends and disruptions, HARMAN can provide guidance to OEMs and Tier 1 customers in this complex technical landscape.
