Trends in automotive embedded systems

Abstract

Automotive embedded systems have developed from single controllers to networked embedded systems integrating an ever growing variety of distributed applications. New features for driving assistance, improved safety, motor and energy management, and infotainment lead to shorter innovation cycles for software architectures, network technologies, and hardware architectures. While, e.g., the new FlexRay bus standard has just been introduced, next generation Ethernet is already at the edge of introduction. The 4 talks in this session present OEM, 1st tier supplier and semiconductor vendor views from leading automotive companies and suppliers
