SOVD in 2026 - Standardized, Proven, Ready for SDVs

Service-oriented Vehicle Diagnostics (SOVD) provides a uniform API for diagnosing new software-based systems and traditional sensor/actuator systems. The use of proven basic technologies opens up a wide range of possibilities for the application of diagnostics. SOVD as protocol is ready for Software-defined Vehicles (SDVs).  Vector offers a comprehensive tool chain for SOVD – from SOVD authoring and in-vehicle realization to validation of the SOVD API and use in SOVD-based diagnostic testers. What we explain: 1. Why Software-Defined Vehicles Need a New Diagnostic Approach > Today's diagnostic landscape provides only a partially standardized access to the software layer > SDVs Require a New Approach — dynamic, secure, remote-capable, multi-client access 2. SOVD: The Standard for SDV Diagnostics — Status 2026 > ISO 17978 publication > ASAM SOVD v1.2 project overview > Status of SOVD Remote Access (ISO 17978-4) > Upcoming SAE J1979-3 alignment for ZEV diagnostics 3. Real-World Adoption & Benefits > SOVD application overview > Why companies are adopting SOVD 4. Realizing SOVD with Vector — tool chain & live Demo > Diagnostic Content is the foundation > Vector's Tool Chain — define, realize, validate and apply > Live Demo: SOVD Explorer in action 5. Summary & How to Get Started > How to Get Started — experience SOVD now! > Key takeaways

vHaaS - Embedded Development Without Borders

Access to physical test hardware is a persistent bottleneck in embedded development. Benches are scarce, tied to one lab, and hard to share across teams. vHaaS, Vector’s HIL farm management solution, turns HIL rigs, evaluation boards, and ECUs into centrally managed, remotely accessible resources that engineers can book, power, monitor, and test from anywhere, manually or through a CI/CD pipeline. 

In this session, we will explore how vHaaS helps you use your hardware setup more efficiently and collaborate on it across teams for your development and verification tasks. 

This webinar is aimed at software and test engineers who need reliable access to target hardware, lab and test infrastructure managers responsible for bench utilization, DevOps engineers integrating hardware into CI/CD pipelines, and team leads looking to scale validation across sites.

> What is vHaaS? 

> Hardware Automation Interface (HAI.Gen2) 

> Live Demo 

> Q&A Session 

Target Groups: Embedded Developer, Embedded Verification Responsible, HIL Management Responsbile, DevOps Responsible
