As the global automotive industry accelerates its transformation toward electrification, intelligence, and connectivity, standardization and quality management in automotive software development processes have become increasingly critical. In response to this trend, VDA QMC released the Automotive SPICE® Potential Analysis globally in August 2024. To better serve China's automotive industry ecosystem, the Chinese version of Automotive SPICE® Potential Analysis PAM and its guideline have now been officially released.

Automotive SPICE® Potential Analysis is intended to be used as a precondition to a customer awarding a contract for a specific product or service or to substitute a missing (Automotive SPICE®) Supplier Self Evaluation (SuSE) and is applicable to all types of software-based systems including Commercial of the shelf (COTS) and legacy content if suitable and appropriate. 

Following the same principles of Automotive SPICE®, Automotive SPICE® Potential Analysis is based on the contents of Automotive SPICE® 4.0 and Automotive SPICE® for Cybersecurity 1.0.

Compared to an Automotive SPICE® 4.0 Assessment, the Automotive SPICE® Potential Analysis has a reduced content, focusing on capability level 1 and requiring a smaller number of samples to be evaluated and therefore less time, the availability of which is often very limited in a nomination phase or in critical project situations.
