The integration of software-defined approaches with software-defined battery electric vehicles brings forth challenges related to privacy regulations, such as European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation and Data Act, as well as the California Consumer Privacy Act. Compliance with these regulations poses barriers for foreign brands and startups seeking entry into these markets. Car manufacturers and suppliers, particularly software suppliers, must navigate complex privacy requirements when introducing vehicles to these regions. Privacy for Software-defined Battery Electric Vehicles aims to educate practitioners across different market regions and fields. It seeks to stimulate discussions for improvements in processes and requirements related to privacy aspects regarding these vehicles. The report covers the significance of privacy, potential vulnerabilities and risks, technical challenges, safety risks, management and operational challenges, and the benefits of compliance with privacy standards within the software-defined battery electric vehicle realm.

In recent years, battery electric vehicles (BEVs) have experienced significant sales growth, marked by advancements in features and market delivery. This evolution intersects with innovative software-defined vehicles, which have transformed automotive supply chains, introducing new BEV brands from both emerging and mature markets. The critical role of software in software-defined battery electric vehicles (SD-BEVs) is pivotal for enhancing user experience and ensuring adherence to rigorous safety, performance, and quality standards. Effective governance and management are crucial, as failures can mar corporate reputations and jeopardize safety-critical systems like advanced driver assistance systems. Product Governance and Management for Software-defined Battery Electric Vehicles addresses the complexities of SD-BEV product governance and management to facilitate safer vehicle deployments. By exploring these challenges, it aims to enhance internal processes and foster cross-geographical collaborations, assisting automotive product managers in integrating comprehensive considerations into product strategies and requirements.

With a growing population and increased mobility, global societies are facing the urgent need to transition to sustainable transportation solutions. However, the widespread adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is hindered by challenges, from limitations in battery technology to the scarcity of charging infrastructure. These obstacles impede progress toward a cleaner future and limit EVs' potential economic and social benefits. Solving Fundamental Challenges of Electric Vehicles offers a comprehensive roadmap to navigate the complexities of EV adoption. It delves into critical issues such as battery technology advancements, charging infrastructure development, and policy and regulatory frameworks. The book empowers stakeholders to overcome these challenges and accelerate the transition to electric mobility by providing insights into innovative solutions and breakthrough technologies.

It is unfortunate that the rapid growth of the economy has resulted in problems such as pollution, traffic congestion, and energy shortages, all of which have contributed to a decline in the quality of life of the general population. As a result of its low emissions, energy consumption, and pollution levels, new energy cars have caught the attention of numerous national governments throughout the globe. In China, these vehicles have reached a national strategic level. Every year, China's dependency on crude oil that is imported from other countries increases. According to the National Energy Administration, China's dependency on imported crude oil reached 73% in the year 2020. This has a major effect on energy security since it is higher than the universally accepted threshold of 50% for energy security. Considering that China is experiencing a shortage of energy, the country puts a high strategic significance on the research and development of vehicles that utilize new energy. A public statement of China's national objectives has been made in recent years. These targets include attaining carbon neutrality in the year 2060 and reaching a carbon peak in the year 2030. In terms of the long-term sustainability of the automotive industry, new energy vehicles are the connecting element that holds everything together. In order to address the energy and environmental issues, the development of alternative-energy vehicles is a potential answer. To restate, China will not be able to achieve its goal of being carbon neutral unless it makes significant investments in alternative fuel vehicles. This is due to the fact that there is no amount of hype about a new energy revolution. The term "new energy vehicle" refers to a vehicle that incorporates the most recent advancements in power control and drive technology with the established technology that is present in traditional cars. The power generation process is accomplished by the utilisation of unconventional vehicle fuel or a mix of conventional vehicle gasoline and an on-board power plant.

We are at the beginning of the next major disruptive cycle caused by computing. In transportation, the term Autonomous, Connected, Electric, and Shared (ACES) has been coined to represent the enormous innovations enabled by underlying electronics technology. The benefits of ACES vehicles range from improved safety, reduced congestion, and lower stress for car occupants to social inclusion, lower emissions, and better road utilization due to optimal integration of private and public transport. ACES is creating a new automotive and industrial ecosystem that will disrupt not only the technical development of transportation but also the management and supply chain of the industry. Disruptions caused by ACES are prompted by not only technology but also by a shift from a traditional to a software-based mindset, embodied by the arrival of a new generation of automotive industry workforce. In Autonomous, Connected, Electric and Shared Vehicles: Disrupting the Automotive and Mobility Sectors, Umar Zakir Abdul Hamid provides an overview of ACES technology for cross-disciplinary audiences, including researchers, academics, and automotive professionals. Hamid bridges the gap among the book's varied audiences, exploring the development and deployment of ACES vehicles and the disruptions, challenges, and potential benefits of this new technology. Topics covered include: • Recent trends and progress stimulating ACES growth and development • ACES vehicle overview • Automotive and mobility industry disruptions caused by ACES • Challenges of ACES implementation • Potential benefits of the ACES ecosystem While market introduction of ACES vehicles that are fully automated and capable of unsupervised driving in an unstructured environment is still a long-term goal, the future of mobility will be ACES, and the transportation industry must prepare for this transition. Autonomous, Connected, Electric and Shared Vehicles is a necessary resource for anyone interested in the successful and reliable implementation of ACES. "ACES are destined to be a game changers on the roads, altering the face of mobility." Daniel Watzenig, Professor Graz University of Technology, Austria
