As the automotive industry shifts toward software-defined vehicles (SDVs), the term has become a buzzword, frequently mentioned at industry events like CES, often with varying interpretations and meanings.

Amidst this excitement, many OEMs are making claims about their new SDV launches; They feel the pressure to incorporate SDVs into their product developments to appear competitive in a rapidly evolving landscape.

But despite all the talk and promises, there has been no clear industry benchmark to measure vehicles' readiness for SDV implementation.

S&P Global Mobility has developed a method which we refer to as SDV Readiness to help the industry and consumers alike assess SDV technology. The establishment of these software-defined vehicle benchmarks not only clarifies the current state of the industry but also sets the stage for future innovations that will redefine mobility as we know it.
