CARIAD

Empowering fleet operations: The new solution “Fleet Interface Data”, co-developed by six Volkswagen Group brands, Volkswagen Financial Services and #CARIAD, gives B2B customers the ability to access telematics data, without needing a retrofit solution.       Data insights can make the day-to-day life of fleet managers easier and help identify potential savings. How?       ▶️ They receive for example near real-time data on milage, remaining range or activated warning lights from their fleet.     ▶️ Information about the next service make it possible to plan workshop visits at an early stage, minimize vehicle downtime and thus reduce potential sales loss.       Learn more about how we’re enabling fleet customers to efficiently manage their vehicle fleets here: https://lnkd.in/e3G9YtyK     💡 The solution “Fleet Interface Data” is available for multiple models from AUDI AG, Volkswagen, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, Škoda Auto, SEAT S.A. and CUPRA in Germany, with other European markets to follow.    __    #WeAreCARIAD #FleetManagement #DataSolutions #Data #DataAsAService  Volkswagen Group Info Services AG 

Volkswagen Group is joining forces with Rivian in a new joint venture to unify and advance its Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV) efforts. This unified approach will drive global innovation and create a single, scalable SDV architecture. I’m proud that the expertise from CARIAD’s SDV Hub, along with the talent and IP we’ve built, will be instrumental in this evolution. Over the last year, the SDV Hub has shown what’s possible, going from concept to vehicle integration in under nine months—an achievement that speaks to the power of collaboration across the Group. A special thanks to the teams of AUDI AG and Volkswagen contributing to this success. The transition of the activities into the JV marks a next big step. A special thank you to Sanjay Lal for his leading role in shaping this journey. His contributions have paved the way for SDVs at Volkswagen! With this move, Volkswagen Group continues to implement its Group Software Strategy globally, positioning it to lead the future of automotive technology. At CARIAD, we’re leading and advancing core software technologies synergistically across volume, premium and luxury segments, such as automated driving, infotainment and connectivity, cloud and backend services to create scalable solutions and drive Group-wide innovation. As CARIAD CEO, I’m excited to lead these software initiatives and aim to build a unified, scalable future for Volkswagen Group’s software solutions in close cooperation and partnership with the brands. Congrats to Oliver Blume, RJ Scaringe, Wassym Bensaid and Carsten Helbing on the establishment of the new Joint Venture! The road ahead is filled with opportunity, and I’m excited to drive the next chapter of mobility innovation together with you!

🔋🗾 Ensuring a comfortable #EV experience: With an integrated EV routing and range service, the innovative navigation solution in the AUDI AG Q6 e-tron helps drivers efficiently tackle the demands of electric mobility – especially on longer journeys.   🔌 The navigation solution factors in traffic, real-time charger availability, and even the driver's driving style to identify optimal #charging stops and incorporate them into the travel time. Throughout the journey, the system monitors the vehicle’s range to adapt the route as needed, ensuring a comfortable EV experience.    Leveraging TomTom’s cloud-native navigation software, drivers benefit from lane-level routing and real-time, lane dependent traffic information, delivering optimized guidance and accurate estimated times of arrival.   💬 "By combining CARIAD's software and integration competence with TomTom’s expertise in location technology, we are bringing a next-generation navigation system to vehicles of the Volkswagen Group," says Dr. Thomas Günther, Chief Launch Officer at #CARIAD. "Together, we have developed an innovative solution that integrates seamlessly with the digital cockpit and offers the driver a reliable, fast, and intuitive in-vehicle experience."   ▶️ Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eikfCxUc __  #WeAreCARIAD #Infotainment #Navigation *Audi Q6 SUV e-tron quattro: Electric power consumption (combined): 19.6–17.0 kWh/100 km; CO2 emissions (combined): 0 g/km; CO2-class: A

Philipp Linke is Head of Behavior Driving at #CARIAD and works on #safety functions like the Emergency Assist.      We have asked him: What is one of your biggest goals?  __  #WeAreCARIAD #EmergencyAssist 

❓ Have you ever wondered what happens to a car when the driver has a medical emergency? That’s what Emergency Assist is for.     Emergency Assist is one of the most connected functions in the entire vehicle – and it is able to take over longitudinal and lateral guidance, the warning signal, horn and brakes using multiple different vehicle actuators.   If the driver does not show any driving activity due to a medical emergency, Emergency Assist can detect this and attempt to make the driver react, e.g. by      ▶️ Tightening the seatbelt  ▶️ Giving warning signals  ▶️ Or breaking abruptly      If this does not succeed, the function will bring the vehicle to a controlled stop within the system limits and can thus possibly prevent an accident.      __   #WeAreCARIAD #EmergencyAssist #SafteyFunctions *Future functions of Emergency Assist which are not available yet.  Volkswagen Passat R-Line: Combined fuel consumption: 5.1 l/100 km; combined CO₂ emissions: 135 g/km; CO₂ class: D

❓ How can product development benefit from #AI? At our first GenAI Hackathon, CARIDIANS explored the possibilities of GenAI to find innovative solutions for day-to-day situations.   The main focus of the Hackathon was on the automation of development processes: Some teams used GitHub Copilot Business for faster code development. Other teams worked with multi-agent systems, in which agents autonomously took on roles such as product owner, developer or tester. These AI agents then interacted with each other to create and review artifacts such as code or documents. With this approach, teams were able to optimize development processes through automated collaboration and to detect errors at an early stage.   🏆 And who took home the trophy? The Hackathon’s winning team focused on optimizing requirement documentation, including:   ▶️ Using graph databases and GenAI to extract correlations in unstructured data from various requirement specifications and make them efficiently searchable. ▶️ An AI-supported tool that systematically reviews cross-departmental requirement specifications and identifies deviations.   Thank you to all participants and our partners Microsoft, GitHub, Avanade and Accenture. __ #WeAreCARIAD #GenAI #Hackathon #Copilot
