Nissan Technical Centre Europe (NTCE) has reduced vehicle software investigation time from two weeks to two days using AI-assisted diagnostics and event-driven data collection. Following a year of development and testing, the automaker is expanding the technology across its pre-production vehicle validation process.

Modern vehicles create massive telemetry streams, but collecting information isn't enough. Teams need systems that convert signals into actionable insight.

[Originally published in German] Die IAA MOBILITY 2027 nimmt bereits mehr als ein Jahr vor dem Start deutlich Fahrt auf. Über 100 Unternehmen haben sich als Rebooker registriert. Damit sind potenziell bereits 53 Prozent der Ausstellungsflächen der vergangenen IAA belegt. Neben Automobilherstellern wie BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche und Volkswagen sind auch Zulieferer, Technologieunternehmen und Anbieter nachhaltiger Mobilitätslösungen vertreten.

Every stage of a vehicle’s life runs on different software. Development teams use simulation platforms. Test teams use data loggers and validation suites. Manufacturing teams run end-of-line testing on their own dedicated systems. After-sales service teams use yet another set of diagnostic tools. Each team picks what works for its specific domain in isolation.

[Originally Published in French] L’intelligence artificielle s’installe progressivement au cœur des véhicules. Selon le Capgemini Research Institute, 85 % des entreprises du secteur automobile considèrent désormais l’IA comme une composante essentielle des logiciels automobiles. Mais rendre un véhicule plus intelligent ne consiste pas seulement à multiplier les modèles d’IA.

Speaking at the AI-Defined Vehicle Forum 2026 on September 17, Sonatus co-founder and CTO Fang Yu argued that while current industry discussions on AI-defined cars focus heavily on intelligent driving and human-machine interaction, truly AI-native cars are missing "the other half"—extending the same intelligence across the entire lifecycle from R&D, testing, and production to after-sales.

Here on SystemChat, we like to talk about the Systems we build to support Embedded Computing, IoT, Industrial Automation, Edge Intelligence, AI at the Edge, Physical AI, and everything else. On this episode of SystemChat, we hear from our guest John Heinlein, CMO at Sonatus and we discuss systems of Automotive AI.

Sonatus, a vehicle software platform provider, has agreed a collaboration with Japanese system integrator Hagiwara Electronics under which Hagiwara will distribute Sonatus technology and pre-integrated solutions across multiple markets. The partnership covers passenger, commercial, construction and agricultural vehicles in Japan, North America, Europe, India and China.

Sonatus CEO Jeff Chou talks about the software challenge of fitting artificial intelligence inside today’s vehicles. Plus, Ford fires back after the U.S. secretary of transportation calls out its CATL and Geely deals.
