The increase in the number of electronically controlled functions and the level of their complexity means the number of electrical and electronic modules as well as the amount of communication effort required between them is rising. E/E architectures as the central nervous system of a vehicle need to fundamentally change so that the complexity of future vehicular systems remains manageable. The core of this transformation is the shift from a domain-specific towards a domain-spanning and centralized E/E architecture. New and software-based functions have to be updateable over the air since, for logical reasons, they ought to be designed in a modular fashion. The networked vehicle as a part of the internet-of- things requires the radical new rethinking of its electrical and electronic architecture.
