Navigating the Shift to Centralized E/E Architectures in SDVs

The automotive industry's move toward software-defined vehicles (SDVs) prompts a reevaluation of conventional E/E architectures. This presentation analyzes the transition to SDVs, focusing on the impact on the development and integration of advanced features on cross-domain target platforms. The discussion centers on the shift from distributed to centralized E/E architectures, which is essential for supporting ongoing feature enhancements and updates.

The FEV demonstrator project serves as a case study illustrating the application of a cross-domain central controller within a software-centric architecture. This project demonstrates the utility of service-oriented architectures and Model-Based Design workflows in creating scalable, adaptable vehicle systems that accommodate software updates post-production.

Participants will hear a technical perspective on current trends in SDV architecture, offering insights into how these developments are managed to maintain a competitive edge in the industry.
