At the heart of these challenges is vehicle architecture...the operating system that controls all the functionality in a vehicle. Every carmaker is now focused on creating the new vehicle architectures required to enable the real-time connectivity, communications and updates required for advanced ADAS and AD systems, as well as for enabling an awesome in-vehicle user experience.Vehicle architecture is morphing from complex distributed systems to high-performance domain and zonal architectures. The newest platforms are communicating via service-oriented paradigms that allow flexible updating and personalization. This transition allows IoT technologies to become part of the vehicle. In addition to scalability, these architectures have a focus on updating and upgrading capabilities. At the same time, they must meet the high demands on reliability and quality for use in safe and secure automobiles. I told you it's complex.The Challenge: Starting from scratch...sort ofIn most cases, we're talking about a major undertaking. Whether you're a startup or a legacy carmaker,you're starting from scratch to piece together these new automotive architectures. The end-result is your car's Dr. Dominique Massonié is head of innovation at Elektrobit.
