Cloud and edge computing’s cumulative benefits for SDVs

Advances in computing and network connections are unlocking new innovations in vehicle platforms. Much of the application processing for electronic control unit functions will occur in the cloud or with edge computing.

As part of the shift toward software-defined vehicles (SDVs), automotive cloud computing is a strategic extension of vehicle-embedded systems computing. Original equipment manufacturers are striving for a connected, autonomous, shared and electric future, in which wireless communication between vehicles and the cloud become increasingly prevalent.
