AUTOSAR Could Transform the Auto Electronics Industry

摘要

It's been more than a year since the AUTOSAR software development consortium announced its intention to develop a standard software architecture on which all automotive electronics development will be based. If it is widely adopted, AUTOSAR will dramatically lower software development costs, significantly improve the reliability of software and make automotive electronics much more affordable. If carmakers widely adopt the architecture, most microcontrollers, electronics control units and software application modules will have to accommodate AUTOSAR. The consortium aims to apply the AUTOSAR architecture to all vehicle systems: chassis, powertrain, safety, human machine interface, body electronics and multimedia.
