IEEE ENCS SP Conference Tutorial: Modern Automotive Architecture and Technologies
IEEE SoutheastCon 2020 - Presentation and Tutorial
Abstract:
Automotive industry has entered the fast lane of innovations with many disruptive technologies that shape the future of vehicles. Electrification pushes the evolution of powertrain from traditional internal combustion engines to hybrid and electric engines for improved energy efficiency and carbon emission reduction. Autonomous driving demands the rapid advances of sensor technology, machine learning algorithms, and high-power computation platforms. Digitization and connectivity are creating a new automotive ecosystem that makes modern vehicles both information providers and consumers in a connected world. Although new technologies will lead to many business opportunities that automotive industry has long been waiting for, they are disruptive and challenging even for the most established automotive companies.
The speaker will first discuss the business and technical challenges and then focus on the latest evolution and development of automotive EE (Electrical/Electronic) architecture. Instead of the traditional hardware-centric model, automotive companies have to develop new software-centric approaches and quickly build their software capacities to stay relevant and competitive in the new automotive landscape. New automotive technologies, such as electrification and autonomous driving, will dramatically increase system complexity, demand advanced data capturing and analytics, and utilize artificial intelligence to process massive sensory information and make critical decisions. New automotive architecture is essential to address system complexity from software and hardware. Automotive companies shall prepare for the further evolution from the current domain-isolated and gateway-controlled architecture to integrated and interconnected architecture with the anticipated trend of ECU consolidation and emergence of automotive ethernet backbone.
The speaker will also discuss some of emerging technologies that will drive the automotive digital evolution. Cybersecurity is not new, and many technologies, processes, and solutions are available from other industries to address cybersecurity risks for decades. However, the automotive industry has unique characteristics. Cybersecurity becomes an immediate challenge to ensure the protection of digital assets as well as safety, security, and privacy of drivers and passengers; While electrification in modern automotive brings new acoustic and audio challenges, advanced signal processing technologies such Active Noise Cancellation, Engine Sound Enhancement, etc. provide enhanced and immersive audio and acoustic experience; 5G and V2X not only bring essential and reliable connectivity to redefine and expand automotive connected ecosystems but also become a critical building block for full autonomous driving in the future.
