The VDA reworked the existing Automotive SPICE Guidelines version 1.0 based on the Process Assessment Model Automotive SPICE 4.0 that is released in conjunction with this Blue-Gold-Book. This was made to take appropriate steps to improve the quality and comparability of assessment results.
Major improvements are made regarding addition of new domains like Hardware Development and Machine Learning. The rating guidelines are provided for all processes in the process assessment model and a new recommended scope for assessments has been determined.
