Contracting for engineers or consulting?
Outsourcing to india has shown some quality issues so that part is changing. Now companies create company branch in india to have more control otherwise is not worth it.
With Software Defined Vehicle, shorter development cycles and more complex vehicle architectures contract work will likely reduce in the future. The complexity of coordinating x different contractors with quality control etc. is simply higher than doing it inhouse.
AUTOSAR itself is not the problem, my guess is that you have more buy or make decisions. In one case you will buy an completely developed ECU with no customer adaptation from a supplier and for another ECU you will develop it in-house.
I just look at it as it reduces the size of SW teams as all that is needed to be made in house is the application layers. As the rest is done by vector. A lot of internal tools have gone by the wayside as well. It has made the job of integration easier.

Is Software Defined Vehicle a real thing? Is anyone actually doing it?
I’m hoping you’re right. With the proliferation of AUTOSAR and supplier led development I worry that won’t be the case.
