Software Defined Vehicle

Software is becoming increasingly important in cars. The software-defined vehicle (SDV) offers enormous potential for innovation and is particularly essential for automated and autonomous driving. Updates make it possible to adapt functions over the entire life cycle. These developments present those involved with new challenges in terms of technology, safety and regulation. This applies to supply and cooperation as well as to the expansion of the company’s own value creation and acquisitions. We are familiar with the technological background, the context and the interests of the relevant players and provide you with cross-legal support on issues relating to SDV. Our expertise ranges from R&D contracts and intellectual property issues to antitrust issues in the context of SDV cooperations and IT or cyber security issues.
