We are familiar with the term from the worlds of computer games and sports. Those who have reached a certain level there often move on to the next level right away. This also applies to our work in automotive development: We cannot rest on our laurels. We see this in trends such as artificial intelligence, the use of game engines in vehicle development and future E/E architectures, which we examine in the title series. They exemplify the increasing complexity of our work. We also have to reach the next level in our methods. In his article, Marius Mihailovici, Managing Director of our digital branch in Cluj, explains what this looks like in the software development sector.
