▶ Recording
Software Engineering & AI: When Machines Program Machines
Prof. Dr. Jürgen Döllner · Hasso Plattner Institute

Döllner examines how AI-generated code is already reshaping software engineering at the HPI — and what it means when the machines doing the programming are themselves built from software.

▶ Recording
Will Generative AI Revolutionize Software Development?
Dr. Johannes Bohnet · CEO & Founder, Seerene · Holger Wolff · CEO, MaibornWolff

Bohnet and Wolff debate the real near-term impact of generative AI on software teams: where it already adds measurable value, where the hype outruns the evidence, and how engineering leaders should plan around it.

▶ Recording
The 4SDV Concept
Dr. Dirk Linzmeier · CEO, TTTech Auto

Linzmeier introduces the 4SDV framework: how TTTech Auto approaches the architectural and process challenges of building software-defined vehicles at series production scale.

▶ Recording
Software Comes First!
Maria Anhalt · CEO, Elektrobit

Anhalt makes the case that automotive software can no longer be treated as a subsystem — it is the product. She outlines what Elektrobit’s clients are doing to actually act on that conviction.

▶ Recording
Automotive Software Development Under Budget Constraints
Markus Baum · Partner, Roland Berger

Baum presents Roland Berger’s analysis of how OEMs are restructuring their software investments under cost pressure — and which bets are paying off.

▶ Recording
Create Flow in Software Engineering
Dr. Matthias Burger · Bosch · Felix Meyer zu Driehausen · Bosch

Drawing on Bosch’s experience, Burger and Meyer zu Driehausen show how removing bottlenecks and building continuous flow into software delivery teams produces measurable productivity gains.

▶ Recording
Product Development in Today’s Environment
Steffen Herz · Director Software House, Hella/Forvia

Herz describes how Hella/Forvia is moving from project-driven delivery to a product-oriented model — and what that shift looks like in practice inside a tier-1 automotive supplier.

▶ Recording
Revolutionizing ADAS/AD with Self-Learning AI
Manuel Yoon · VP Strategy, Autobrains

Yoon explains the Autobrains approach to ADAS: using self-supervised learning trained on real-world data, reducing reliance on manually labeled datasets and simulation environments.
