Inside this Report:
The automotive industry is undergoing an unprecedented shift toward the software-defined vehicle (SDV) concept that is fundamentally changing the design, validation, production, and support of the vehicle through its lifecycle. This report defines and examines the market for virtual electronic control units (vECUs), and development tools, quantifying, and qualifying market dynamics through an in-depth discussion of recent events, engineering trends, and vendor strategies. As part of VDC's continued efforts to engage with the technology markets we research, this report includes end user insights from VDC's "Voice of the Engineer" survey.
