The “software-defined vehicle” of the future necessitates new means of software development and vehicle service integration. Software thus becomes an important added-value factor and distinguishing feature – one that can be developed and sold independently of the hardware. Yet the enormous opportunities that exist in terms of connectivity, automation, and personalization of the vehicle are countered by challenges such as the ever-dwindling development resources of automotive manufacturers and the costs associated with creating new development environments and IT infrastructures. Service providers who wish to develop and offer their own services are faced with problems such as high initial investment costs, lacking access to markets and users, or cost- and time-consuming customer management.
With PANTARIS, ETAS provides vehicle developers and service providers with a suitable infrastructure for creating, distributing, and marketing new software and services.
The ability to focus on core activities raises efficiency in the development process, while shared expenditure for the IT infrastructure, sales, and user service reduces costs and breaks down the entry barriers for new market participants. The worldwide availability of PANTARIS facilitates the global distribution of new software as well as the marketing of services. The marketplace is manufacturer-independent and is available to all providers and users of vehicle-related services.
