Automotive manufacturers are struggling to meet software development deadlines for their vehicles due to a shortage of specialized engineering talent. The shift towards software-defined vehicles, where features and user experience are delivered via software, has become a critical strategic priority for many companies. To accelerate development, manufacturers must strategically decide which software components to build in-house (those that differentiate their vehicles) and which to outsource to partners (supporting layers and features common across the industry). This focus allows their most skilled engineers to concentrate on unique, customer-facing innovations rather than essential but non-differentiating tasks. AI
