Product Development for AV and EV Reliability
C2313
- Content
According to NHTSA, there were 932 vehicle recalls in the United States in 2022, affecting approximately 31 million vehicles; 39 electric vehicle recalls affecting more than 1.3 million vehicles, and 56 ADAS recalls affecting more than 4.7 million vehicles. Furthermore, Warranty Week reports that Worldwide Auto Manufacturers allocated a total of $54.7 billion for future warranty repairs or $670 per vehicle sold in 2022. 2023 Consumer Report indicates that Electrical Vehicles have 79% more reliability issues than ICE vehicles. The product recalls, warranty and reliability issues not only impact the financial aspect of a company but also influence customer satisfaction, brand reputation, and market competitiveness. Therefore, reliability can position a company as a leader across various industry sectors.
This course is developed for practicing engineers. The class will focus on the integration of reliability into product development for autonomous vehicles and electric vehicles. The integrated five-step reliability process covers: Define the Requirements, Design to the Requirements, Verify to the Requirements, Launch to the Requirements and Manufacture to the Requirements.
