The future of the automotive sector is bright and the software-defined solutions will replace 40% of the automotive parts in the days to come, said vice-president and global HR head, Bosch Global Software Technologies Pvt. Ltd. Raj Kumar Bonam.
Addressing the students of VIT-AP University here on Saturday as part of the University Day celebrations by the institute, Mr. Raj Kumar said Bosch would provide opportunities in this sector very soon.
