Software-defined vehicles are quickly becoming intelligent, self-improving systems powered by artificial intelligence (AI). As their capabilities expand, the central challenge is no longer building bigger models but managing the enormous volumes of data those models depend on.

Sonatus and Michelin will jointly demonstrate predictive tire health and maintenance at CES 2026, showcasing how Michelin’s SmartLoad and SmartWear models run in-vehicle via Sonatus AI Director to deliver real-time tire performance insights based on actual driving dynamics rather than pressure or mileage alone. The collaboration highlights how software-based “virtual tires” can improve safety, extend tire life, reduce fleet operating costs, and lower BOM by replacing physical sensors, while enabling scalable, secure edge AI deployment across OEM platforms.

Nissan Technical Centre Europe (NTCE) is partnering with US-based software company Sonatus to apply AI tools for vehicle development, targeting shorter fault-finding cycles and more data-driven validation. The collaboration links a bespoke data collection setup at NTCE in Cranfield, UK, with Sonatus’ Collector AI and AI Technician to analyse real-time and historical vehicle data.

Nissan Technical Centre Europe (NTCE) and US-based vehicle software innovator Sonatus have announced a development partnership to accelerate the vehicle development process.

At the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2026 in Las Vegas, Sonatus will introduce a range of new products and solutions that demonstrate the transformative impact of AI on software-defined vehicle capabilities.

Nissan Technical Centre Europe (NTCE) has partnered with US-based software firm Sonatus to integrate artificial intelligence tools into its vehicle development testing programme, with the technology set to be adopted for future models including the Juke and Leaf.

Es ist eindeutig: KI-gestützte softwaredefinierte Fahrzeuge (SDVs) verändern die Spielregeln des internationalen Automobilmarkts.

Das Nissan Technical Centre Europe (NTCE) und der Software-Spezialist Sonatus haben eine strategische Partnerschaft geschlossen, um die Fahrzeugentwicklung mit modernsten KI-Werkzeugen deutlich zu beschleunigen.

Over the next three years, 92 percent of companies plan on increasing their AI investments, but only one percent of leaders describe their company’s deployment of the technology as "mature." What are the implications of this?

The in-vehicle edge AI rally is on. The pace of innovation in software-defined vehicles (SDV) is accelerating as localized AI systems become smarter, faster and more integrated.

Künstliche Intelligenz hat sich längst als Schlüsselfaktor der automobilen Transformation etabliert. Doch während viele datengetriebene Anwendungen bisher in der Cloud laufen, stoßen solche Systeme in der Praxis an Grenzen: Zu hohe Latenz, eingeschränkte Konnektivität und sensible Fahrzeugdaten machen eine rein cloudbasierte Verarbeitung für viele Szenarien unpraktisch.
