In the rapidly evolving world of automotive technology, Siemens has made significant strides with the introduction of its PAVE360™ Automotive solution. This innovative software represents a new category of digital twin technology, specifically designed to address the complexities arising from the integration of automotive hardware and software.
As the automotive landscape shifts towards software-defined vehicles (SDVs), manufacturers face increased pressure to streamline their development processes. Siemens’ PAVE360 allows teams to conduct thorough virtual integrations from the outset, simulating real-world vehicle components and accelerating the development of critical applications such as Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), Autonomous Driving (AD), and In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI).
Transforming automotive development
The automotive industry is experiencing an unprecedented surge in the complexity of vehicle systems, necessitating innovative solutions. Traditional development methods are becoming less effective in managing the intricate relationships between ADAS, AD, and IVI. Consequently, Siemens has introduced PAVE360 Automotive to facilitate a seamless transition to a more integrated approach.
Accelerating time to market
A key advantage of PAVE360 Automotive is its capability to significantly reduce the time required for product launches. Previously, manufacturers needed to create their own digital twins before commencing software testing, often prolonging development timelines by several months. With PAVE360, companies can deploy a fully integrated digital twin immediately, reducing this interval to just days.
“The automotive sector is at the forefront of a revolution focused on software-defined solutions, and Siemens is dedicated to providing essential digital twin technologies,” stated Tony Hemmelgarn, President and CEO of Siemens Digital Industries Software. “Our PAVE360 Automotive tool empowers companies to innovate quickly and confidently, unlocking the full potential of SDVs.”
Partnerships driving innovation
In addition to its proprietary advancements, Siemens has teamed up with Arm to enhance the capabilities of PAVE360 Automotive. This collaboration aims to develop more efficient virtual environments using Arm’s Cortex-A720AE and Zena Compute Subsystems (CSS). By integrating these technologies, automotive manufacturers can accelerate their development processes by as much as two years.
Managing complexity without hindering progress
As vehicles increasingly incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced computing systems, the challenge of managing this growing complexity becomes critical. “As automotive technology evolves and becomes more AI-driven, manufacturers and chipmakers require innovative solutions that allow them to navigate this complexity without hindering their innovation pace,” explained Suraj Gajendra, Vice President of Products and Solutions at Arm.
With Arm Zena CSS integrated within the PAVE360 Automotive framework, automotive engineers can customize solutions that leverage the unique flexibility of the Arm architecture. This integration facilitates earlier validation and iteration in the development cycle, ultimately leading to quicker product launches.
Future outlook and availability
The PAVE360 Automotive solution is built on Siemens’ Innexis™ software environment, providing users with the necessary tools to create system-level digital twins for ADAS, AD, and IVI features. Currently, key customers have access to this technology, with general availability scheduled for February 2026. Siemens will showcase PAVE360 Automotive at the upcoming CES 2026, where industry leaders can experience firsthand the future of automotive innovation.
For attendees at CES 2026, Roland Busch, President and CEO of Siemens AG, will deliver a keynote address focusing on how Siemens is harnessing AI, digital twins, and automation to drive significant advancements in manufacturing, infrastructure, and transportation.
