Volkswagen's Software Division: Current Status Update.

In 2019, Volkswagen set up a new division, CARIAD, to create a new unified automotive operating system for future VW Group EVs. The division had to work on three different systems simultaneously, and it hasn't gone smoothly. However, CARIAD's CEO, Dirk Hilgenberg, believes that the idea is still right, and they are in the final stretch of developing E3 1.2, which is destined for more upmarket EVs from Audi and Porsche, using the upcoming PPE platform. The unified OS, called E3 2.0, would show up mid-decade in a new, unified platform across the entire VW Group.
