Meet Softing at the WCX™ 2025

Meet us at the SAE International WCX™ 2025 and join our technical session “Options for Introducing SOVD in SDV Architectures”

April 08, 2025 at 10:00 am | Room 320

Mobility is clearly moving towards autonomous driving and IoT applications. The introduction of data- and computation-intensive functions is changing vehicle architectures towards zonal architectures based on high-performance computers (HPC). These conditions as well as the availability of data connections to the backend have a major impact on how such software-defined vehicles (SDV) and entire fleets are tested and updated. Vehicle diagnostics will become a key element for onboard test and update operations running on HPCs, as well as for providing vehicle data to the offboard backend infrastructure via Wi-Fi and 5G at the right time. The standard for Service Oriented Vehicle Diagnostics (SOVD) supports this development.

Our presentation “Options for Introducing SOVD in SDV Architectures” will focus on:

• Introduction to Service Oriented Vehicle Diagnostics (SOVD) as a key standard for efficient on-board diagnostics, testing and updates as well as for providing vehicle data via Wi-Fi and 5G.

• Strategies for the gradual introduction of SOVD over the entire vehicle life cycle.

• Integration of SOVD with existing UDS-based legacy systems – for a smooth migration.

• A comparison between SOVD and UDS diagnostic approaches with practical examples and an assessment and conclusion of whether SOVD can completely replace UDS in the long term.
