Driving the Future: Software at the Core of Mobility

Mario: At Audi, the big topic is the Software Defined Vehicle (SDV) — our next-generation electronic architecture. I’m responsible for helping shape this transformation, working closely with our partner company RVT (Rivian and Volkswagen Group Technologies). Together, we’re rethinking how Audi builds cars, bringing in a startup mindset to drive real change.

The focus is clearly on software. We’re not just building vehicles — we’re aiming to create intelligent, connected systems. That means reimagining development processes, becoming faster, more agile. A key area is CI/CD: continuous integration and delivery of software. Our goal is to move from months-long development cycles to regular daily feedbacks on software, unlocking speed, quality, and innovation.

I see myself as someone who brings fresh energy and new ways of thinking. My mission is to help accelerate Audi’s journey into the future — with bold ideas, a strong commitment to change, and a revolutionary spirit that challenges the status quo.
