The Future of the Car is Electronic

The most important innovations in the automotive industry today are based on electronics and software: from fleet management and telematics, to diagnostic tools and even online navigation.

The car of the future can see further at night than its driver, it gives advance warning of traffic jams and already starts braking before its driver has even spotted the danger. Today, nine out of ten vehicle innovations are based on electronics. More and more integrated systems are operating as electronic assistants, carrying out functions that were once regulated mechanically. At the same time, electronics are introducing new functions into the vehicle – increasing safety, environmental compatibility, driving pleasure and comfort as a direct result.

Software plays an increasingly important role, not only in the car itself, but also during the developmental process, production and vehicle maintenance. New software is able to adapt the car’s control systems to incorporate the latest developments at low cost. Today global production, networking of manufacturers and suppliers, service center maintenance and fleet management are all based on software.

Key technologies for the automotive industry

Electronics and software is a very dynamic field in the automotive industry, with new challenges that affect development, production and service. In future, software will help determine the quality of the product as a whole. T-Systems responded early to this trend with solutions in the automotive electronics environment. We now develop diagnostic equipment for our customers, adapt inspection processes, plan network tests in the vehicle, and service measurement technology and analytic software. We do this so you can start developing the cars of tomorrow, today.
