Dana, the Agentic AI Platform Changing How SDVs Get Built
The bottleneck is no longer writing code. It's coordinating thousands of engineers, hundreds of tools, and countless workflows into one continuous engineering system. Deploying even a simple software feature often means navigating a patchwork of disconnected tools, development environments, validation systems, and supplier workflows. Many engineering teams spend more time moving information between systems than they do writing, testing, and shipping software. That's why we built Dana for software-defined vehicles. Rather than treating AI as a chatbot attached to existing software, Dana makes the development workflow itself agent-operable. Requirements and architecture are offered as code rather than locked inside local legacy tools, while development and SIL run in connected cloud environments. Dana preserves context across every stage, from the original requirement through architecture, implementation, and validation. Consider validating a brake control module: work across requirements, architecture, code, multiple ECUs, simulation, hardware, and the vehicle itself. With Dana, a single developer can compress that process into one workflow, owning it end to end. Dana is bringing the power of agents to transform the SDV lifecycle.
