Takeaways from SDV Europe after day 2: MBSE is alive! In his talk, Rainer Stark bridged shift left and model first with the SDVxMBSE initiative of the prostep ivip Association (see Rainer’s talk at the Tokyo Summit 2025).
Beyond that, the conference was all about moving from “what” to “how”. According to many of the conversations Martin Strietzel and I had, the central challenge is no longer tooling but collaboration. It takes a real “Rethinking the SW-Supply Chain” and new partnerships between OEMs and suppliers.
Even though tooling is no longer the bottleneck, innovation continues here, from model-based testing and formal verification to AI analysis of ECU source code.
Success in the SDV era is not defined by the best method alone, but by the smartest ecosystem and the best collaboration. And sometimes you simply have to get started.
