This new vision will not only transform how vehicles are designed and manufactured, but also how consumers perceive and use them throughout their lifecycle

Software-defined vehicles (SDVs) open up fresh business opportunities and revenue streams for automakers

Leading industry brands are already collaborating with tech companies like GMV to develop this new breed of vehicles, which are, at their core, complex technological platforms

ALSA, GMV, INDRA, MASERMIC, MAS MÓVIL, RENAULT GROUP and SIGMA have launched the R3CAV project, which positions the partners at the forefront of the technologies needed to develop future autonomous and connected vehicles

The initiatives that are already being worked on include an autonomous vehicle for the industrial environment at the Renault Factory in Palencia as well as different tests on connectivity systems in highly automated vehicles for transporting people in the town of Alcobendas (Madrid)
