Modern Automotive Electronics

Modern automotive systems are rapidly becoming highly defined and characterized by embedded electronics and software. With new technologies in the vehicle the industry is facing new opportunities and also new challenges. Electronics have improved the performance of vehicles and at the same time, new more complex applications are introduced. Examples of high level applications include adaptive cruise control and electronic stability programs (ESP). Further, a modern vehicle does not have to be merely a means of transportation, but can be a web integrated media centre. Based on the idea that OEMs should stay vehicle centric, the major problem for OEMs is integration. The integration contains internal integration of vehicular systems, as well as external integration to allow media developers to gain access to the passenger cabin. In order to cope with the introduced complexity, new designs and processes are necessary both for hardware and software architectures. Many new functions are introducing autonomy in safety critical systems like brakes and steering which introduces requirements for dependable systems. The integration requires a design process that creates well defined systems supported by modeling and validation techniques. Current trends indicate that more hierarchical architectures will be utilized and also more high level modeling of system functions. A good integration would be supported if open industry standards and efficient power networks can be accomplished. If the complexity can be mastered there are few obstacles on the road to a digital revolution. It will be possible to architect efficient information and energy flows and the experience of transportation will never be the same again.
