What factors drive the automotive industry's evolution toward software-defined vehicles? What are the organizational challenges? And what role do things like artificial intelligence play?

These were among the fundamental questions during SDV Social 2025 on Thursday, May 16th, presented by Intrepid Control Systems. In addition to technical demos and networking opportunities, the evening included an in-depth panel discussion on the future of software-defined cars moderated by AutoVision News Radio host Carl Anthony.

Joining Carl were three respected industry leaders: Eugen Beslic of ETAS, Partha Goswami of 3IS, and Colt Correa of Intrepid Control Systems. Each panelist provided a unique perspective on the SDV landscape, including the role of AI, considerations related to corporate culture, and upcoming trends.

Join us for a rebroadcast of this previously live panel discussion from the Intrepid Control Systems headquarters in Troy, Michigan.

The discussion between electrification and hydrogen is less about which one is superior and more about where one best fits within the larger mobility ecosystem. While it's common to default to electrification for passenger cars, we may only be scratching the surface of what hydrogen can offer for larger vehicles.

Tarek Abdel-Baset, Director of Business Development for Hydrogen Storage Systems in North America within the Clean Mobility division at FORVIA, joins us for this edition of AutoVision News Radio. Tarek covers the fundamentals of hydrogen, its role as a zero-emissions mobility solution, and expands on the concept of Resiliency versus Efficiency.

Recorded at the Station at Michigan Central inside the marvelous Grand Hall, Tarek shares what the iconic landmark means to him, echoing the sentiments of many Detroiters who believe the best is yet to come for the Renaissance City.
