Supply chain evolution from horseless buggies to driverless cars
Valentin Bercovici explores the challenges in securing, maintaining, and repairing the dynamic, heterogeneous software supply chain for modern self-driving cars, from levels 0 to 5. Along the way, Valentin reviews implementation options, from centralized certificate authority-based architectures to decentralized blockchains networked over a fleet of cars.

From the invention of assembly lines, to robotic manufacturing to driverless cars, automotive innovation continues at a relentless pace. Supply chain optimization is vital to success in this highly competitive industry. What once was restricted to integration of mechanical components now includes a heavy mix of regulated, mission-critical software from multiple suppliers – which must be updated ‘over the air’ at a regular cadence. Valentin Bercovici explores the challenges in securing, maintaining, and repairing the dynamic, heterogeneous software supply chain for modern self-driving cars, from levels 0 to 5. Along the way, Valentin reviews implementation options, from centralized certificate authority-based architectures to decentralized blockchains networked over a fleet of cars, and shares the decision criteria and ROI/TCO metrics captured to date.
