SHANGHAI: Volkswagen will use Chinese software developers to help design a global autonomous vehicle architecture thanks to the prevalence of qualified programmers which carmakers are struggling to hire elsewhere, senior executives said on Monday.
"In a short period from now they will be able to do 15 to 20 million lines of programming code on an annual basis," Volkswagen China's passenger cars chief Stephan Woellenstein said in Shanghai on Monday. As a result, Chinese suppliers will help Volkswagen Group to design a global autonomous vehicle architecture, he said."Part of the software development work can be done for instance in Chinese facilities out of Volkswagen Group China," Woellenstein said.
"We will further strengthen our capabilities to develop in China for China and for certain technologies for the rest of the world. We find excellent talents here and are ready address customer requirements in this fascinating market," Patuschka said.
