High-Speed Driving with Agents: Strengthening Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV) Security

As the automotive industry transitions beyond traditional connected vehicles into the era of the Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV), real-time data analytics and innovative user experiences are becoming critical.

To support this, Google Cloud and Valtech developed Nexus SDV, a scalable AI-powered connected vehicle platform. This platform is deeply integrated with Android Automotive OS (AAOS) to optimize data flow, and is designed to manage up to 100 million devices.

The Nexus AI engine leverages Gemini models to transform vehicles from simple data sources into proactive agents. Through real-time telemetry analysis, it enables autonomous decision-making and hyper-personalized driver assistance features.

Key features include:

• Reduced TCO (Total Cost of Ownership): Uses Arm-based computing and Bigtable to lower the cost of large-scale data processing.
• Cloud-Native Architecture: A modular structure that bridges the gap between the vehicle edge and the data center.
• Defense-in-Depth Security: Built on a Zero Trust architecture, establishing a robust authentication system via mTLS and Google Cloud Certificate Authority Service (CAS).
