In a Software-defined Vehicle, functions are mostly enabled by software. Decoupling software from hardware enables fast and continuous development and implementation of new functions and software updates throughout the vehicle's lifetime.
With Continental’s Function as a Product we offer quickly available and scalable software solutions, supporting our partners to bring the Software-defined Vehicle to live.
