as the automotive industry is going through transformation with new trends and technologies, the current vehicle architecture is reaching its limits and needs to have an innovative ground-zero approach for a future vehicle architecture.
the traditional method of automotive feature development involves designing hardware and software and then integrating them into the vehicle. as advancing features are becoming more interdependent, a software-driven approach to feature development can balance and limit complexity and integration efforts. software-driven feature development is characterized by designing and laying out central computing units able to run not only features of different domains, but also any further features to the vehicle that might be added via pure software additions after vehicle shipment.
this session highlights the fev demonstrator project, which lays out software-defined vehicle architecture based on cross-domain applications, and uses a prototype to demonstrate its feasibility. the project uses the existing model-based development workflow while developing this software-driven architecture based on the adaptive autosar standard.
