The company was established in 2020 as the Car.Software Organisation. Today, around 5,500 employees from over 90 nationalities are working on one of the most exciting challenges in the automotive industry: shaping the car of the future. As an essential part of the Volkswagen Group's vision to become the global automotive tech driver, we develop software solutions for all Group brands.

Our software already powers more than 30 million vehicles around the world. We’re developing advanced systems in synergetic technology areas across the Volkswagen Group: for driver assistance, highly automated driving, infotainment, cloud infrastructure and connectivity. Through close collaboration with the Volkswagen Group brands and strong international tech partners, we deliver platform solutions that can be tailored to regional needs while scaling globally.

What connects us is a shared belief: the car can be more than a mode of transport—it can become a smart, digital companion. One that adapts, evolves, and improves over time.

Headquartered in Germany, CARIAD has development hubs in key automotive and tech regions such as Wolfsburg, Ingolstadt, Berlin, and Munich, as well as subsidiaries in North America and China. In each location, our teams contribute their expertise to create cutting-edge solutions—locally adapted, globally connected. Together, we’re working to make mobility better for everyone.
