Online Training: Understanding Challenges of Vehicle Development

In the VDI Understanding Challenges of Vehicle Development Online Training, you will learn about the criteria and factors you need to consider to be able to react to potential challenges in the development of vehicles. At the end of this online training, you will be able to identify the crucial influencing and risk factors and take these into account during the planning and controlling of your automotive software project.

Be prepared for uncertainty in vehicle development

Numerous factors can influence the success of your automotive software project. For example, electrification presents OEMs as well as automotive suppliers with new challenges, as technological innovation leads to new requirements in vehicle development.

In the approximately 30 minute Understanding Challenges of Vehicle Development Online Training, you will learn what challenges you can expect to face today as well as in the future. This training will show you how the system complexity of a vehicle will change as a result of e-mobility and which components will be affected. You will gain an understanding of the effects this has on the entire cost structure of your project and will also learn how you can design the development process to meet increasingly stringent requirements and quality goals. Furthermore, you will find out about the consequences of not paying enough attention to and controlling system complexity in your automotive software project.
