no / This paper identifies the need for thorough experimental based study for Software-over-the-air (SOTA) in an automotive context. The paper outlines the challenges and context for automotive SOTA with an extensive literature review. It then details the early stages of the experimental studies, which aim to identify the key control and noise factors that affect performance of the SOTA in an automotive environment. This contribution establishes a framework for uncertainty modelling of SOTA as a system which highlights the needs to develop solutions requiring big data gathering and analysis as next research opportunities to the scientific community. / Jaguar Land-Rover
