PNSQC Pulse - July 29, 2026
Speaker Spotlight: Florian Rohde
As software continues to redefine physical products, how do we validate systems that are constantly updating over-the-air and operating autonomously?
At PNSQC 2026, automotive quality pioneer Florian Rohde will pull back the curtain in his keynote, Inside Tesla: The Birth of the Software-Defined Vehicle and Quality in the Age of Autonomy. Drawing on his firsthand experience leading Tesla’s vehicle firmware validation team, Florian will explore how the shift toward Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs) forces us to completely rethink traditional quality assurance.
Instead of treating quality as a final checkpoint, Florian will share how to embed continuous validation directly into the daily development loop. He will unpack the processes, automation tools, and organizational mindset that enable rapid over-the-air (OTA) deployments and utilize real-world data feedback loops to define product quality in the era of autonomy.
Whether you are navigating the complexities of IoT, embedded systems, or autonomous software, you’ll leave with actionable engineering strategies to scale your validation processes and adapt your organization to a rapid-delivery world.
