Why join
Join us for a hands-on hackathon where you’ll tackle real challenges from leading industry partners in areas like mobility, cybersecurity, AI, and more. Work in teams, build creative solutions, and showcase your skills on the big stage.
Real Tech. Real Challenges.
BYOD – Bring Your Own Device
Connect your own devices via the BYOD API to apps like karaoke, in-car gaming, and personalized welcome – and show live in the SDV test vehicle what’s possible.
V2R – Virtual-2-Real
Bring your algorithms and UX ideas — in the V2R hack challenge, you’ll test smart airbag features first virtually and then live in the SDV test vehicle, while we provide the simulation, CAN hooks, airbags, and instrumentation.

Show what’s possible in a single day of focused collaboration.
Pitch your solution in front of experts – and win prizes, visibility, and new opportunities.
