Software Over-the-Air (SOTA) provides regular updates to ensure that your vehicle always benefits from the very latest software. This means that contact with third parties is almost superfluous. Vehicle users, on the other hand, have access to a wide range of new or improved functions according to their preferences, such as optimizing the range of an electric vehicle or improving existing driver assistance systems – provided that the vehicle’s hardware has the capability.
SOTA can therefore not only dramatically reduce development cycles, it can also extend the life cycle of the vehicle – without the need to accept any functional losses related to software and independent of the usual diagnostic intervals at authorized workshops.
In addition, OTA updates enable users to book additional individual functions according to their needs, such as real-time traffic jam information, a lane departure warning system, or a highway pilot for their vacation trip – all based on the pay-as-you-use principle. These Functions on Demand and the related range of individualized features provide a fully customizable driving experience.
In order to carry out the function, the relevant data is transferred to the cloud, the software download is authorized and is then activated directly in the vehicle. Data transfer takes place in the background. It is based on state-of-the-art cloud technologies, such as Microsoft Azure or AWS, which ensure the smooth provision of the latest software.
Today's vehicles are largely determined by their software and the performance of the underlying IT. Software Over-the-Air is a fundamental component of modern vehicles. Bertrandt is your strong partner – from the development to the validation of SOTA functionality in the complete system, not only in the backend, but also in the individual ECUs.
