The document discusses Renault Group's approach to software defined vehicles (SDV). It outlines Renault's ambitions to enhance the customer experience through features like natural voice control, third party app integration, and over-the-air updates. It then introduces SDV as enabling centralized vehicle architecture and cloud connectivity. Renault's unique approach involves partnerships with Qualcomm and Google to leverage their digital chassis and Android Automotive OS. This allows Renault to focus on core software while lowering investment and risk. The SDV approach is expected to reduce costs and increase vehicle value through connected services revenue.
