Research finds nearly two-thirds of global automakers believe artificial intelligence use cases – such as predictive maintenance, over-the-air optimisation and personalisation – will drive software-defined vehicle adoption.

Steve Stoddard, Product Manager at Sonatus, explains how AI can transform vehicle maintenance by enabling smarter, model-specific diagnostics. Through tools like AI Technician Builder and Collector AI, Sonatus combines machine learning, real-time data, and large language models to identify issues proactively. This approach improves efficiency for repair shops, enhances service for drivers, and helps OEMs reduce costs and vehicle downtime.

Soon it’s very likely that fleets of specialized AI agents will influence jobs worldwide, including your car mechanic. The growing role of AI in the automotive industry is immense, but not surprising considering the amount of data that is collected while you are driving.

Red Hat, the world’s leading provider of open source solutions, today announced a comprehensive partner ecosystem collaborating around Red Hat In-Vehicle Operating System to pre-integrate silicon, middleware, application software and services on the platform, propelling the next generation of software-defined vehicles.

Sonatus makes the list of finalists for the WardsAuto's AutoTech Awards 2025. The list recognizes the visionaries, game-changers, and bold breakthroughs shaping the future of mobility with cutting auto tech innovation.

Over-the-air (OTA) software updates have become so routine for smartphones, computers, and other connected devices that most people give them little thought—unless you own a PC and Windows decides to update at what always seems like the most inopportune time.

Sonatus seamlessly brings AI Technician Builder for OEMs to run on Arm-based AWS Graviton chips in the cloud.

The automotive industry is undergoing a significant transformation with the rise of software-defined vehicles (SDVs). At the heart of this shift is the increasing reliance on over-the-air (OTA) updates, which allow manufacturers to modify vehicle functionality remotely without requiring a physical visit to a dealership or service centre.

Artificial Intelligence is transforming the entire vehicle lifecycle, from concept to end-of-life. AI streamlines engineering by exploring concepts, optimizing components, and automating compliance. AI enhances manufacturing with operational efficiency, predictive maintenance, and quality control while improving supply chain decisions, including battery material sourcing.

The Frankfurt office will act as a strategic hub for Sonatus' operations in Germany. Vehicle software company Sonatus has bolstered its presence in Germany with the launch of new office in Frankfurt. This move is part of the company’s strategic expansion to provide local expertise and support to major OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers in Germany.

At CES 2025, Sonatus demo'd its wares on a Zero Labs-electrified Bronco, upfitting it with off-the-shelf ECUs capable of running its Automator AI toolkit. This system makes it trivially easy to program new features and beam them to the vehicle.

Sonatus showcased an extreme application for SDV (software-defined vehicle) innovations including generative AI at CES 2025. The demonstration featured a project centered on a Zero Labs-transformed 1970s Ford Bronco.
