Software-Defined Vehicles Loom Closer Every Year

Modern vehicles face an architecture mismatch: they are built around centralized, hardware-defined SoCs optimized for decades-long reliability, but the software world evolves rapidly and demands continuous updates. The automotive industry is responding by moving toward software-defined vehicle (SDV) platforms that use modular systems instead of monolithic SoCs, separating safety-critical functions from other workloads, and prioritizing integrated hardware-software assemblies. The goal is to enable easier software updates and adaptability without compromising safety or reliability, though automakers have not yet converged on a single winning architecture.

Melexis Expands Pressure Sensor Family

Melexis has added three new low-pressure variants to its Triphibian pressure sensor family: the MLX90830 (analog), MLX90833 (LIN), and MLX90834 (SENT). These sensors support configurable measurement down to 2 bar and target EV thermal management and AI data center liquid cooling applications. They combine a suspended-cantilever MEMS element with signal processing in a factory-calibrated SOIC16 package, offering glycol compatibility, overvoltage protection up to 40V, and ±0.5% full-scale lifetime accuracy. Developed under ISO 26262 as a SEooC, they support up to ASIL B system integration. SPI and I²C variants are planned for 2027.

The First New WW2 Jeep Since 1945

David Tracy of The Autopian built a brand-new WW2-spec Jeep using only parts sourced from eBay as part of a sponsorship challenge, then drove it from LA to Moab. The build involved sourcing a new engine block from France, fabricating a new chassis and body in the Philippines, and using period-correct components including the notoriously flawed original steering system. The project highlights the complexity of assembling a vehicle from scratch and the dedication required to maintain historical authenticity.

Automotive requirements management in 2026: 7 solutions compared

A comparison of seven automotive requirements management platforms for 2026, covering Jama Connect, Visure, Codebeamer, Polarion, IBM DOORS, Valispace, and ReqView. Each tool is evaluated on ISO 26262 compliance, ASPICE readiness, ReqIF exchange support, and multi-OEM supply chain traceability. Jama Connect is ranked first for its live traceability, ReqIF interchange, and preconfigured compliance frameworks. The guide also covers key buying criteria including ReqIF support, live traceability, scalability across OEM programs, and total cost of ownership.

Beyond safety and security: Why automotive open source demands dependability

Canonical argues that automotive software development suffers from siloed safety, security, and quality workflows. To bridge open source agility with automotive compliance rigor, Canonical introduces a unified 'dependability' framework for Ubuntu built on three integrated pillars: security (aligned with ISO/SAE 21434), quality (15-year lifecycle traceability), and safety (ISO 26262, fail-safe design). Canonical claims to be the first to achieve ISO/SAE 21434 certification for a security process, positioning Ubuntu as a dependable foundation for OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers adopting open source in vehicles.
