Accelerating Automotive Innovation: How Stellantis is Leveraging the AWS Virtual Engineering Workbench
The AWS Virtual Engineering Workbench (VEW) is a cloud-based development environment designed to accelerate the software development cycle in the automotive industry. It provides a platform where development teams can utilize patterns to learn, contribute, and expedite software development. The VEW consists of three main pillars: tools, targets, and environments, which are managed on the VEW platform.
The VEW provides a cloud-based environment complete with compute power, operating system instances, plant and controller models, and prominent developer tools on-demand. This reduces the dependence on prototype hardware, thereby accelerating the software development cycle.
Stellantis is using the Virtual Engineering Workbench to transform its approach to vehicle software development. The VEW is a key component of Stellantis’ software-defined vehicle (SDV) strategy, which aims to reinvent how vehicles are designed, engineered, and operated.
At CES this year, Stellantis introduced a first-of-its-kind STLA SmartCockpit that demonstrates the power of the VEW development platform. This allows Stellantis to create realistic virtual versions of car controls and systems, making them behave just like they would in a real car, but…
