Tackling the Challenges of Automotive Software Development

Automotive software development is facing growing challenges—dynamic requirements, tight deadlines, and cost constraints often hinder innovation. To address these pain points, KOTEI pioneered the "Software DreamWorks (SDW)" concept, a next-generation intelligent software development platform.

Since June 2024, SDW 1.0 has been adapted and validated with DeepSeek V2. By December, SDW 2.0 was launched with DeepSeek V3, enabling real-world applications across multiple stages of automotive software development. Now, as of January 2025, SDW 2.0 has seamlessly integrated with the latest DeepSeek R1, unlocking full-process AI-driven upgrades—from requirements analysis and development to testing and project management. This marks another step towards achieving fully intelligent, end-to-end software development.

DeepSeek R1: The Key to Smarter Development
