The automotive industry is undergoing a major shift — not just toward AI-powered, software-defined vehicles, but also toward a new culture that challenges traditional ways of working. Listen in as we sit down with Amol Gulve, Software-Defined Vehicle and AI Expert, for a candid discussion on why the pace of innovation is both exhilarating and challenging for legacy automakers. Amol breaks down the traditional seven-year vehicle development cycle and why it’s incompatible with an AI-driven world, challenging OEMs to rethink everything from architecture and procurement to culture and org structure.   From the future of AI in vehicles to the cultural shifts inside OEMs, you’ll get an inside look at the questions defining the next decade of mobility — and why trust, transparency, and smarter standards will shape the road ahead.   We’d love to hear from you.
