Technology is our key to transforming automotive mobility.   New functions in infotainment and driver assistance systems are developed like apps. The ability to update complex software in fleets “over-the-air” is becoming a key enabler that allows for updates and new functions on-demand and in ever-shorter cycles.  // Building the leading tech stack in automotive industry  At CARIAD, we are building a unified technology and software platform, including a vehicle OS, vehicle cloud platform and new unified architecture for all of Volkswagen Group’s brands, e.g. Porsche, AUDI or Volkswagen.
