31 Automakers Unite to Software-Enable Manufacturing for EV Competition

Thirty-one automakers have joined forces in a coordinated effort to accelerate their adaptation to the competitive pace of the electric vehicle era. Traditionally, the automotive industry has long focused on increasing horsepower, adding more components, and refining precision engineering. However, current trends indicate that this pursuit of complexity no longer aligns with the industry's direction. The core of EV competition now extends beyond battery technology—it increasingly lies in leveraging software-driven approaches to simplify manufacturing processes and enhance efficiency.
