Bosch Brings Software-Defined Thinking to Trucks
Bosch arrived at IAA Transportation 2026 with a clear message; the truck of the future will run on software. Its central vehicle computers bring cockpit, motion, energy and body functions together, allowing quick over-the-air updates. For cleaner freight, the company offers every route, from a rigid e-axle for 18 to 49-tonne trucks to fuel cell systems of up to 300 kW and hydrogen engines. Safety gets smarter too, with drowsiness detection built into digital side mirrors, an AI-powered camera and a new radar from 2027. At the show, the company laid out its plan to bring the software-defined vehicle from passenger cars to trucks, with powerful central computers running steering, braking, powertrain and safety systems as one connected team. According to a couple of company officials, the reason is that engineers are still making parts lighter, stronger and more efficient, but every component eventually reaches its physical limits. Steering and powertrain systems are already very advanced, so the future gains, from hardware alone will be small steps. Software, on the other hand, can coordinate many technologies inside a vehicle “with one intelligence.” Today, almost every system in a truck has its own electronic control unit (ECU), and their number has grown rapidly. To manage this, the industry is shifting towards fewer but more powerful computers. The first step is domain and zonal architectures, in which high-performance computers (HPCs) take charge of entire areas of the vehicle, such as the body, infotainment, powertrain, braking, steering, chassis and trailer. A single central computer may follow one day, though that is still far off. Bosch already offers its latest HPCs in passenger cars, powered by NVIDIA’s newest Thor chip, and plans to bring the same technology to trucks. This also needs faster in-vehicle networks such as Ethernet, since traditional CAN connections can be too slow, they explained. The payoff is lower running costs. Wh

Tesla’s mirrorless Cybercab will give riders a visibility upgrade
Tesla is working on a Cybercab update that would let passengers pull up the vehicle’s rear and side cameras on demand, and the request came straight from a rider. The exchange played out on X late Friday. Cybercab rider Dan Burkland shared photos of the two-seater’s cabin screen after an evening ride, praised the UI team’s work, and left one request: let riders open the rear and repeater cameras whenever they want, “especially for peace of mind.” Tesla UI software engineer Evan (@CarCoder) answered with two words: “In development.” The Tesla UI team absolutely crushed it with the infotainment software. Nicely done @CarCoder! One feature request: Allow folks to pull up the rear & repeater cameras on demand. This would be great especially for peace of mind. https://t.co/mNAOSLx6pE — Dan Burkland (@DBurkland) October 10, 2026 The idea fits a pattern Teslarati has tracked since public rides began. Days after paid Cybercab service opened in Austin, Tesla sent riders a survey that asked them to rate the touchscreen, the app and the cabin, and to pick the features they wanted most. We reported on that survey in September , and a camera view is the kind of small software change Tesla can push quickly if riders keep asking. It also speaks to something unique about the vehicle. With no steering wheel, no pedals and no driver, passengers have no mirror to check and no way to see behind them. The hardware is clearly built for camera awareness, from the repeater cameras to the rear camera. Letting a passenger look through those same cameras would give a nervous first time rider a way to confirm what is around the car. The timing matters because the fleet is growing fast. Tesla’s Robotaxi account said on Saturday that more than 300 Cybercabs are now serving Austin , an eightfold increase in 30 days, and Tesla AI chief Ashok Elluswamy named Dallas as the next city. More cars and more cities mean more people riding in a driver

ZF Counts on Electrification and India for Its Next Big Leap
ZF CV Solutions division has set its sights on €9 billion in revenue within the next three to four years, against €7.8 billion in 2025, and its plan rests on two things: strong new business wins and a growing shift to electrification. Speaking to this publication at IAA Transportation 2026, Mr. Andreas Moser, Member of the Board of Management, ZF Friedrichshafen AG, explained why electrification matters so much. An electric axle replaces the transmission, the axle and the combustion engine all at once. That means ZF supplies far more of the vehicle, and its turnover grows with it. India is a big part of the story. ZF’s strategy is to grow where the market is, and Mr. Moser sees India as a fast-rising market where the company already has an “extremely good footprint,” with several plants and a large base of engineers. Today, ZF’s content per vehicle in India is around €500. With demand growing for automated transmissions and electrified solutions, he believes that figure can rise easily. Around the world, the picture is mixed. China’s domestic market is flat, but Chinese companies are exporting successfully to western markets, and their focus on the West is clear at the show. Europe remains uncertain, while North America has seen some good developments recently, even leading to supply shortages in some areas. ZF is winning around 90% of the business it bids for. Mr. Moser credited this to staying close to customers. About two-thirds of ZF’s staff work outside Germany, and the company has production facilities across many regions. It also tailors products to each market. In ADAS, for example, ZF offers lower-cost versions specially for India and China, and its global set-up in electrification helps it reach strong volumes. As trucks become more software-defined, ZF is looking for ways to share common systems, since developing software for automated vehicles is very expensive. India plays a key role here too, serving as an engineerin
