Volvo Offers Software to Rivals in Reversal From Coding Delays

Volvo Car AB is looking for partnerships for its new central software stack that’ll run on all of its future electric models, a sign the carmaker has overcome earlier coding glitches that delayed vehicle launches and sparked recalls.

The manufacturer is open for pacts including licensing of the “superset” system that operates via a handful of high-performance computers, according to Volvo’s Chief Engineering & Technology Officer Anders Bell. While a number of carmakers including Volkswagen AG have struggled to move to their own centralized software, those that have managed in-house can potentially tap new revenue streams.
