Volkswagen is rethinking how embedded electronics and semiconductors shape the future of vehicle development. With most car functions still driven by deeply embedded hardware, simplifying complexity and unifying platforms has become essential to accelerating software innovation.

In this video, Peter Fiedler, Head of Semiconductor Strategy at Volkswagen, discusses why modern vehicles require stable, common hardware foundations and how reducing hardware variants can dramatically streamline software development. He also highlights the growing importance of virtual prototypes, which can improve specifications early in the process and prevent integration issues that typically surface late in vehicle programs.

Peter explains how Arm’s consistent, scalable compute platform supports Volkswagen’s move toward common hardware and more efficient software workflows.

Together, Arm and Volkswagen are advancing a smarter, more unified approach to vehicle development.
