The shift towards zero-emission propulsion and the software-defined vehicle is dramatically complicating the vehicle development process. Automakers and suppliers face a sizeable transition not only within their product lines but also their manufacturing plants and supply chains and wider industry regulations. New technology needs to be developed and implemented faster than ever, and by teams increasingly spread across numerous geographies and time zones.
