Definition is vague
According to a top man from Valeo, the new BMW IX3 is the first real ‘software defined vehicle’ that does not come from Tesla or China. The supplier also mentions the IX3 of the world’s best SDV, although it is now also starting to smell a bit of toilet duck.
Valeo is a French supplier for the car industry and yes, the company also has close ties with BMW. There is a good chance that the company here is simply praising its own true, but it is still interesting. After all, Valeo has more customers, but Valeo’s Vice-President Derek de Bono opposes Automotive News that the new BMW IX3 is the world’s most advanced ‘software defined vehicle’ (SDV).
Now the definition of such an ‘SDV’ is not clear and we only know that these are cars for which software is actually more important than hardware. A car where functions can be added or changed by a software update runs a great chance of the ‘SDV’ qualification. According to the Valeo CEO, Tesla’s also fall into that category, just like a select group of Chinese products. And the BMW IX3, so, who is the only European car also the very best of its kind when it is up to the Bono. Other manufacturers are not that far yet, and hope to claim the ‘SDV’ qualification somewhere in the coming years.
SDV or not, the fact is that the new IX3 brings a lot of news for BMW. This applies to the areas of design, interior design and powertrain, but certainly also when it comes to the four ‘super brains’ that keep the car together software. The IX3 is the blueprint for what is to come at BMW and there will still be a lot of models with the same technology.
