Shift2SDV aims to revolutionize the European automotive industry by creating an SDV ecosystem based on a middleware and API framework. This modular approach will replace current monolithic systems, fostering innovation. The project will develop a cutting-edge middleware framework with microservices for building automotive applications, abstracting hardware and supporting various components. Key objectives include a flexible microservices architecture, simplified application development, and a safe, secure system. Shift2SDV will also integrate edge/cloud computing and demonstrate the middleware’s viability.
