Jacky Zhang pointed out that Compliance with OTA is a complex process. Intelligent connected vehicles have gradually evolved into a new generation of mobile smart terminals, driving a revolutionary transformation in transportation. The proportion of software in vehicles is also increasing significantly. Adhering to our philosophy of "software-defined vehicles," this means that many vehicle behaviors and parameters are realized through software. Today’s OTA systems are capable of updating most ECUs. Establishing a comprehensive OTA compliance management platform that integrates control at three levels—system, vehicle model, and OTA tasks—can support the healthy development of the automotive industry. 

An OTA compliance management platform not only involves the management of OTA-related operations but also needs to integrate into various aspects of vehicle functionality, including functional definitions, change management, record filing, information security management, testing management, and information storage management.

In the future, Carota will continue to strengthen its research and development capabilities and market presence while actively collaborating with national government agencies, upstream and downstream partners in the automotive industry, and authoritative organizations. The company aims to provide better solutions and service support for compliance in software upgrades for intelligent connected vehicles, explore technological connectivity, and jointly create a new ecosystem for the industry.
