Not just a distant dream: Centralized E/E architectures

Insights
Circular Economy & Remanufacturing

The automotive industry is undergoing a period of huge change fuelled by the adoption of connectivity, autonomous driving, shared mobility, and electrification. As a result, the number of ECUs is increasing to accommodate these changing requirements. However, the ad hoc methods of accommodating these new features are beginning to break down; adding ECUs requires validation and is an inflexible way to expand the vehicle electronics network—new electronic and electrical architecture (E/E) architectures are needed.
