Siri, Alexa, Cortana and the like listen attentively to the goings-on around them and respond to the wishes of their users in fractions of a second.

That’s why we feel such a strong responsibility to create sustainable solutions: developed with a purpose, and for people, rather than simply in pursuit of the technology for its own sake. In a Porsche, it will remain possible to switch off the data connection; Privacy Mode must remain an option at all times. People need the space to spend time without the internet and constant connectivity. Music is the product of the rests between the notes. We want to advance technology in order to remain human.

That’s exactly how we develop digital solutions. Not just technology for its own sake, but always with an eye to the benefits for users and developers. Driver assistance systems need to operate with foresight and work safely at all times. We explain the requirements that thereby emerge for development and how they can be effectively taken into account in the development process. Whether and to what extent digitalization is new, or in fact familiar, in the auto- motive industry is analyzed by two Porsche experts in our interview. Finally, you can read about how our in-house-developed testing proce dure for connectivity applications streamlines the development process—and highlights the possi- bilities of digitalization for developers and users alike. DIGITALIZATION Porsche Engineering MAGAZINE 9 Forward-Looking and Safe New requirements for the fields of function development, testing grounds and validation In recent years, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) have evolved from mere display and warning functions into applications with ever higher degrees of automation. Increasing automation yields new, substantially more demanding requirements in the fields of function development, test grounds and validation.
