Software Defined Vehicles

Paris – November 05, 2026 -- Stingray is pressing automakers to keep in-car entertainment in-house rather than cede the dashboard to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, using its Mondial de l'Auto appearance in Paris to make the case.

DATAxis panelists frame entertainment as an OEM battleground

At the DATAxis Conference ahead of the Paris Motor Show, industry leaders agreed that in-cabin experience increasingly shapes brand perception, customer loyalty and purchasing decisions as vehicles become software-defined. Tom Adams, who represented Stingray on the panel, said automakers should retain control of their "digital customer journey" instead of leaving it to third-party smartphone ecosystems.

DELRAY BEACH – November 05, 2026 -- The global time-sensitive networking (TSN) market will grow from USD 0.50 billion in 2026 to USD 3.96 billion by 2032, a CAGR of 41.3%, according to MarketsandMarkets.

Industrial automation replaces proprietary fieldbus with deterministic Ethernet

Expanding industrial automation and edge data processing are increasing the number of connected Ethernet nodes in each facility. As demand for deterministic performance rises and network architectures converge, TSN is displacing traditional proprietary fieldbus solutions. Operators are adopting IEEE 802.1AS for time synchronization, IEEE 802.1Qbv for time-aware shaping, and centralized network configuration architectures. Emerging applications include industrial robotics, motion control, predictive maintenance and automotive zonal architectures.
