We are at an inflection point for automotive embedded development to move to the cloud. In an era where software has not just eaten the world but is continuously redefining it through AI, the cloud emerges not just as a platform but as the foundational fabric for software engineering. With AI’s increasing demand for computational power driving unprecedented changes in silicon, both at the edge and in the cloud, the need for agile, scalable, and continuously optimized development environments… Show more

We are at an inflection point for automotive embedded development to move to the cloud. In an era where software has not just eaten the world but is continuously redefining it through AI, the cloud emerges not just as a platform but as the foundational fabric for software engineering. With AI’s increasing demand for computational power driving unprecedented changes in silicon, both at the edge and in the cloud, the need for agile, scalable, and continuously optimized development environments has never been more critical. As the home of the world’s developers, GitHub is the platform to build the next generation of automotive and embedded development environments in the cloud. Show less
