This thesis project delves into the analysis of contemporary connected vehicle platforms, focusing on the benefits and challenges associated with these advanced solutions and emphasising aspects of safety and flexibility. A key trend in the current automotive sector is the prospect of transforming the car from a hardware-focused product to a software-driven device. The technology of choice for leading software development and production companies driving this change is the Software Defined Vehicle (SDV). The primary objective of the thesis is to apply this paradigm to the development of a simulator for a vehicle control unit responsible for collecting telemetric data from the vehicle.
