Perforce Releases State of Automotive Software Development
Perforce Software, a provider of solutions for enterprise teams requiring productivity and visibility at scale within the SDLC, released the results of its annual State of Automotive Software Development survey conducted in partnership with Automotive IQ and the Eclipse Foundation. Nearly 600
Key findings show that quality and security have now outpaced safety as leading concerns, while the automotive vehicle market continues to rapidly evolve. The survey found that automotive developers’ top three leading development concerns are quality (29%), security (25%), and safety (21%). Quality was the top concern for respondents in the Asia-Pacific region, while security was the leading concern for respondents in all other regions.
The shift from safety to security this year suggests that while safety standards are now well established in the automotive industry, embedded security — especially meeting regulations requiring cybersecurity approval and enforcing secure coding practices — will be an important focus for automotive professionals in the years ahead.
“Embedded security concerns continue to rise as the need to protect automotive electronic systems, communication networks, and software grows,” said Perforce Product Evangelist Steve Howard. “OEMs and their supply chain partners want to prevent costly and malicious attacks, unauthorized access, or manipulation to automotive systems, and ensuring their code is secure is the first step to mitigating those incidents.”
The global economy continued to have the greatest market impact of automotive software professionals, which means that among other strategies, maintaining industry competitiveness and maximizing existing resources are of great importance in 2024. Perforce’s findings also show that there was an increasing move toward a hybrid/remote workforce and a greater focus on team productivity and accelerating development.
Electric and connected vehicle development is also greatly impacting development teams. The majority of teams are now working on electric components (84%), and connectivity components (79%) to some degree.
With electric and connected vehicle segments becoming more established in today’s market, software is even more central to automotive development. The increasing amount of software installed in vehicles can lead to more safety and security considerations during the development process — preferably as early as possible. Of those surveyed, 59% of automotive developers have adopted or are in the process of adopting a shift-left strategy to identify software vulnerabilities as they code.
Another notable finding was that 82% use a coding standard to ensure safe, secure, and reliable code — with 67% of those surveyed using a static code analysis tool to aid in compliance, and 26% using a SAST tool to ensure secure software.
This year, 62% of developers surveyed are using MISRA®, a 20% increase over last year. The publication of new MISRA guidelines (MISRA C:2023 and MISRA C++:2023) likely account for the sharp increase in those respondents using the standard.
“Organizations across the automotive industry continue to work toward meeting the highest levels of quality,” said Director of Compliance Jill Britton. “With the rapid growth of the electric and connected vehicle segments, compliance to safety and security standards is going to be more important than ever.”

Hayden AI to Stop Double Parking
Hayden AI, a global leader in vision AI and spatial analytics, today announced a new product for its vision AI platform: automated double parking enforcement. Utilizing the same hardware and AI technology as the company’s automated bus lane, bus stop, and bike lane enforcement platform, this new application of the technology is designed to improve road safety and public transit performance by reducing instances of illegal double parking through highly accurate and scalable enforcement.
Double parking creates major issues for road safety and public transit. When drivers illegally block a travel lane parallel to legally parked vehicles, they force buses, other vehicles, and cyclists to maneuver around the stopped vehicle, increasing the likelihood of crashes and causing significant travel delays. Moreover, double parking also creates challenges for legally parked vehicles that cannot leave when needed.
Automated double parking enforcement gives transit and other agencies an additional tool to improve bus performance and road safety for everyone. By utilizing the Hayden AI technology already installed on buses for automated bus lane, bus stop, and bike lane enforcement, agencies can seamlessly and automatically detect and enforce illegal double parking violations at scale.
