CAR COMPANIES ARE IN A BILLION-DOLLAR SOFTWARE WAR, AND EVERYONE'S LOSING

Tesla pioneered the SDV with over-the-air updates and centralized computing, but legacy companies are finding it difficult to shift from their traditional hardware-focused approach. These companies face challenges in merging safety-first mindsets with the speed and creativity needed for software development, plus they need to support both EVs and internal combustion engines.
