Shift2SDV - a common Software development framework and hardware independent microservice-oriented middleware architecture for the stepwise migration to the Software Defined Vehicle of the Future

Middleware services connect applications, enabling seamless communication and data exchange, both of which are vital for the European automotive sector. The EU-funded Shift2SDV project will create a Software Defined Vehicle (SDV) ecosystem using a middleware and API framework to enhance collaboration in the automotive sector. By developing a modular framework with microservices, the project will address the limitations of current systems, ensuring compatibility with both in-vehicle and cloud technologies. Key goals include establishing a secure architecture, simplifying application development, and integrating edge computing. Through effective communication and collaboration, the project seeks to bolster European leadership in SDVs and drive innovation in the automotive industry.
