Vehicle virtualization

Ahsan Qamar is one of the most influential voices in software-defined vehicles today. Named to Automotive IQ's Top 20 Voices in Automotive 2025, he shares his perspective on three key challenges in software-defined development — spanning UAVs, aerospace, vehicles, and robotics — why they matter, and how the industry can address them.

RemotiveTalk #2: Shift left testing is on every automotive software team's roadmap, but most organizations are still finding bugs too late and at too high a cost. Emil Dautovic sits down with Michael Fait (Thoughtworks) and RemotiveLabs CEO Per Sigurdson to discuss what the automotive test pyramid looks like in practice, what genuinely gets in the way, and where to start.

- and what it will take to change. A conversation with Johan Thelin, open source strategist and systems architect with two decades at the intersection of automotive and software.

Every automotive team has an architecture diagram. And every architecture diagram is wrong. New ECUs get added, channels get rewired, services move, but the diagram stays frozen in the last review meeting. With the Tree view to show a platform in RemotiveStudio, the actual topology becomes visible: browse ECUs, channels, and services in a tree view and drill into how things really connect.

RemotiveTopology supports industry-standard automotive protocols including LIN, CAN, CAN FD, Flexray, and Automotive Ethernet - making it easy to combine virtual and physical nodes in a predictable and low-effort way.. In this article, you’ll learn how to move from a fully virtual LIN setup to hybrid configurations that integrate any LIN vendor hardware without changing system definitions or approach.
