Upgrade roadmaps
Plan upgrades so fleets stay capable without stranded investments.
How we approach Upgrade roadmaps
Upgrade roadmaps balance performance gains against compatibility: actuator swaps may require control retuning; perception changes may alter ODD claims. We structure roadmaps with explicit verification scope.
Modularity strategies - compute units, sensor pods - reduce future friction when technology shifts.
End-of-life planning addresses spares, licensing, and customer communication early.
