R E P O R T2025 State of Automotive Software Development ReportWhat Are the Top Concerns Impacting Automotive Software Development?© Perforce Software, Inc.

(0220KS25)IntroductionWelcome to the 2025 State of Automotive Software Development Report This year, over 650 automotive development professionals around the world provided responses to questions regarding current practices and emerging trends within the automotive software industry. Our findings show that quality continues to be the leading key area of concern for automotive software professionals, as seen in the 2024 report. Last year, we attributed this to the geographical expansion of our survey to include more respondents from the Asia-Pacific region, who cited quality as their top concern; however, this year quality became the leading concern for North America and Africa, and a rising concern for other regions. Safety, meanwhile, has returned to the second leading area of concern over security, which briefly outpaced safety in 2024. Safety proved to be especially important this year as new artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies are being applied to connected and autonomous vehicles. With the rise in AI/ML, functional safety standards focused on eliminating risk in vehicle systems are being reshaped to identify the challenges of functionally safe AI systems. A new standard, ISO/DPAS 8800, “Road vehicles — safety and artificial intelligence” has been recently published specifically for systems encompassing AI, describing measures to assure the safety of the AI system and its decision-making during operation. While quality was the leading area of concern overall for respondents this year, keeping code quality high when written by a generative AI tool was of least concern for AI in vehicle software development. However, improving software quality was still the leading reason for using development tools, such as static analysis. Electric vehicles (EVs) have become more established across the automotive industry, but the market is variable. A majority of survey respondents this year indicated that they are at least somewhat impacted by EV design, but whether they were extensively working on EVs or working on some EV components varied by region. For now, North America appears to lead in EV driving their design, but that could change. Even as some automotive companies look at scaling back EV production, sales continue to rise globally, with China leading EV sales growth in 2024. This could partly explain why, more broadly, maintaining industry competitiveness was the leading market condition our survey respondents plan to focus on in 2025. 2025 State of Automotive Software Development ReportR E P O R T2© Perforce Software, Inc.
