Episode Details

“Shift” podcast host Molly Boigon talks to Gary Cygan Jr., director of vehicle software and electronics engineering at GM; Steffen Fuchs, senior partner at McKinsey & Co.; Andrei Iordache, global senior director of automotive presales at HERE Technologies; and Christopher Prediger, regional president for the Americas in Bosch’s Cross-Domain Computing Solutions division as a part of an Automotive News Congress panel on software-defined vehicles.

They discussed whether artificial intelligence is an enabler of more advanced SDV technology — or whether it’s still just hype.

Doug Bolduc, managing editor of Automotive News Europe, also joins Boigon to talk about how Chinese automakers’ growing presence at the Paris auto show put the pressure on Western automakers to show up with impressive new offerings.
