Do you know for a fact that they do develop their software in a waterfall like method? I somehow doubt that a bit. At least they publicly say:
"Volkswagen Group IT consistently uses agile workstyles and intensive cooperation with universities, technology partners and Volkswagen Group departments to develop digital solutions."

Of course, cars do have a lot of legacy (not least because of inertia caused by regulatory processes) but I think they do a bit of what they say.
- ThrowMeAway314 10y agoHaving worked on VW Software Projects i can assure you they drank all of the scrum koolaid.
- bArray 10y agoHow did hardware and software work together to iterate on a product? Or did they outsource it?
- bArray 10y agoWorked for a vehicle company, it's "agile" as long as it fits within the limitations set by waterfall. I guess this is a point people will argue for days, all I can say is I have been there. There is strong emphasis on incremental feature delivery with little risk management. It usually came down to engineers pulling magic wands from somewhere and soothing the software into a workable state.
- marvin 10y agoHaha, that's a funny description of waterfall which more or less matches the agile process at my bank.
