Centralize & Decentralize
✅Increasing hardware consolidation leads to more powerful DCU then to Zonal controllers and HPC(high performance computer)
✅Moving functions/services to cloud, DCU, upper layer inside the ECU, ZCU or HPC
✅Middleware will link the DCU’s together to enable abstraction and virtualization, a Service Oriented Architecture, and distributed computing
✅Software and middleware is considered as a whole piece
✅Sensors become smarter to distribute the computing resource
✅Advanced lifecycle management allows Diagnostics/cybersecurity to trigger automatic updating
✅Zone controller provides function localization and distribution
✅Block Chain increases resources with partial edge computing
Upgradable & Updateable
✅OTA & SOA(service oriented architecture), provide functions and service to complete vehicle making it part of the IOT
✅Design with future in mind, our layered structures eliminate unnecessary change in the future
✅Upgradable Components and its software configurations eliminate the need to develop new
Results:
SOA & AUTOSAR
✅Change from ECU oriented to Service oriented architecture
✅We use classical and adoptive AUTOSAR and commercial infotainment OS to provide a complete system
Cross Domain
✅Ethernet backbone
✅Full power and network redundancy
✅Functional safety, cybersecurity and fail operational mode
