In conclusion, while the parallels between autonomous driving and SW development may not be
immediately apparent, both fields share the common objective of harnessing the power of AI to enhance
their operations and to free time for individuals to focus on more gratifying pursuits. In the context of SW
development, AI will continue to accelerate and improve the creation of new features and data, elevating
the UX of various R&D personas and evolving gradually from a trusted advisor towards an elevated
decision-making autonomy. AI-based Copilots will slowly start to become more mainstream throughout
SDLC, starting from Intelligent Coding and Security and extending to cover the full DevOps stack.
Businesses must adhere to responsible and secure AI principles and practices to ensure sustainable
outcomes. This includes areas such as protecting their IP and avoiding potential security and license
compliance issues in AI generated Software. Embracing progressive autonomy of AI systems will allow
and ensure compatibility with existing infrastructures and regulatory environments.

As AI technologies continue to advance, we can anticipate even deeper integration and innovation in SW
development. We are living in exciting times as AI continues to transform industries. The future of SW
development is promising, and the degree of development responsibility we can entrust to machines may
only be limited by our imagination.
