On July 26, Porsche announced that its fourth generation Cayenne will be all-electric, with the first camouflaged prototypes already in testing. Porsche continues to develop hybrid and combustion engine models, offering three powertrain variants through 2030 and beyond. The all-electric Cayenne is based on an advanced Premium Platform Electric (PPE) with 800-volt architecture, integrating the latest high-voltage, powertrain, and chassis technologies.

Set to debut mid-decade, the new electric Cayenne will set standards for electric SUVs. The third generation Cayenne will receive upgrades and be sold alongside the fourth generation. Future Cayenne models will see significant technological investment, especially in powertrains like the Porsche-developed V8, to meet future legislative requirements.

Following extensive digital development and initial test drives, the first camouflaged prototypes of the all-electric Cayenne are undergoing worldwide testing in extreme conditions, covering millions of kilometers before launch.

On July 25, CARIAD shared its journey towards developing software-defined vehicles for the Volkswagen Group was highlighted at WeAreDevelopers in Berlin. The CEO detailed their progress and shared insights into the CI/CD (Continuous Integration/ Continuous Deployment) pipeline built from scratch in collaboration with Bosch for the Automated Driving Alliance.

The pipeline aims to scale automated driving across all vehicle classes, ensuring that each code commit translates into a road-ready solution in less than half a day through a data loop for embedded development. The implementation includes three major development loops: Development Loop, Deep Learning Loop, and Data Loop.

The presentation offered a deep dive into the practicalities of CI/CD in action, providing valuable insights for those looking to enhance deployment efficiency and software quality.
