Some software engineering teams have a problem understanding the difference between abstraction and vagueness. Since one is essential to the architecture and design of complex systems and the other leads to technical debt and poor software quality, software teams must grok the difference.
The automotive world has an awful lot to learn about innovating in software engineering and little time to do it.
Software is the medium of digitalisation. If you don’t understand software, you have no hope of coming up with a decent digitalisation strategy.

For decades, innovation has been driven by hardware with software consigned to an enabling role. Today, the move towards large-scale digitalisation is reversing these roles, with software driving innovation and hardware becoming increasingly commoditised. A new generation of smart systems is set to emerge based on software-centric technologies such as the industrial internet of things, [...]
