LONDON, Aug. 28,
2024 /CNW/ -- SODA.Auto, a UK-based automotive tech
company, launches its flagship product – SODA V, the world's first
tool that covers all needs of automotive engineers from idea to
certification to create software-defined vehicles. SODA V tool took
1.5 years and $6 million to
develop.
Serving as a unified platform for Software, Electronics, and
Electrical Architecture, it harnesses the capabilities of Digital
Twin technologies and AI, significantly reducing time spent on each
routine task. For instance, test coding that previously took 3 days
can now be reviewed in just 15 minutes.
"Tesla consistently operated within the SDV paradigm, innovating
new approaches and tools for internal use only. SODA.Auto adopted
this strategy but expanded it to serve a wider audience," added
Florian Rohde, ex-Tesla, Managing
Partner at iProcess LLC, USA.
With SODA V, automakers can build new SDVs in less than 1 year,
a fraction of the traditional 5-year timeline, with a $600,000 budget compared to the industry standard
of $40 million. This will lead to
more units on the market, lower prices for end users, and cars
becoming more technologically advanced with better user
experiences.
"The automotive industry is undergoing a radical transformation,
driven by the need for faster innovation cycles. Companies can
develop, test, and integrate new vehicle features in as little as 7
days with SODA.Auto," said Matas
Simonavicius, ex-CTO at CHARGE CARS.
SODA V, unlike all other industry players' solutions,
exclusively covers the entire vehicle development cycle, from idea
and requirements to validation and certification, replacing at
least 15 commonly used expensive tools and streamlining the entire
process in a single interface.
In just one year, SODA.Auto aims to double its client base of
automotive companies in Western markets, expecting them to develop
over 150,000 software-defined vehicles. "The company anticipates
fostering software-defined vehicles industry development and
reaching $100 million in revenue by
2027," stated Sergey Malygin, CEO at
SODA.Auto.
"The previous status quo of creating vehicles no longer
works. We need innovative tools to help automakers (and
suppliers) quickly overcome the challenge of creating a product
comparable to high end technology products and at the cost of
Chinese cars," stated Glenn Saint,
The Society of Motor Manufacturers & Traders (SMMT) UK,
Commercial Director at Equipmake.
SODA V is also applicable to aerospace, rail, and marine
sectors, and several other areas. "SODA.Auto continues to bring
their innovation and cutting-edge technologies to the forefront
through the infusion of AI into Digital Twins with their
latest Multi-agentic GEN AI solutions," stated Dan Isaacs, CTO and GM at Digital Twin
Consortium. This initiative showcases practical applications of
these technologies, validated by Digital Twin Consortium, including
NASA.
