This is a podcast by Motor Trend about the future of car. The host is talking about software defined vehicles [SDV] and is joined by Jeff Chow, the co-founder and CEO of Sonatus and Robert Day, the director of goto Market of Automotive goto Market vehicles at Arm.
Sonatus is a company that supplies advanced software for vehicles and the cloud. Arm on the other hand is a company that manufactures computer chips.
The conversation starts with a question from a viewer named DOD Mac who asks if a person can rip out the battery and motors from a Porsche Taycan and put them into a new VW ID7 in order to make it faster. The host says that this might be difficult because the software might not be compatible.
The conversation then goes on to discuss the future of software defined vehicles. Jeff Chow says that in the future, cars will have fewer physical buttons and more software-based controls. This will allow for more customization and features. Robert Day from Arm agrees and says that cars will need more powerful processors to handle all of the data that will be coming from the various sensors in the car.
One of the challenges of software defined vehicles is that it will require a lot of collaboration between different companies. The companies are working together to develop standards and practices for developing and deploying software in cars.
The podcast concludes with a discussion about the economics of EVs. The host says that EVs are becoming more affordable and that he believes they will eventually become the dominant type of car.
