Rust in Automotive – New Potential for SDVs?
Software-defined vehicles (SDVs) require a shift towards integrated E/E architectures in vehicles. This transformation must also drive a fundamental rethink in software engineering approaches. How can this be achieved cost-effectively whilst still maintaining the highest quality standards? C and C++ remain the dominant programming languages in the automotive industry. However, Rust is now emerging as a language that could deliver fresh momentum for security and efficiency – particularly in the context of software-defined vehicles (SDVs).
In the latest issue of the ELEKTRONIKPRAXIS trade publication, Jonas and Lukas explore this topic in their article entitled “Rust in Automotive – New Potential for SDVs?”:
- What unique advantages Rust offers compared to established languages.
- How mature and robust the Rust ecosystem has become.
- Whether tangible efficiency gains can be achieved in implementation, testing, and review.
This well-researched article sheds light on a topic that is becoming increasingly relevant across our industry.
