Thanks to the domain controller’s high-performance computing capabilities and high-bandwidth communications, drivers can connect with the surrounding external environment through digital platforms and 5G networks. V2X technology will allow vehicles to communicate with other vehicles and road infrastructure to obtain environmental information. All this data must be communicated and processed in real time, which requires high-bandwidth communications and high-performance on-board computing power. Obviously, traditional discrete MCUs are difficult to support high-speed communication and computing capabilities.
Many technologies in the IT industry and the consumer electronics field can be transferred to the future smart car field. The on-board SOC, embedded operating system, virtual machine monitor and OTA upgrade technology used in future cars are relatively mature, and are widely used in consumer electronics and other fields. The automotive electronic framework can learn from other electronic products. However, due to the high safety requirements of automobiles, automotive electronic design needs to meet strict safety standards and standard requirements. Requirements for security, stability, and durability dictate that automotive domain controllers be designed with extremely high quality and reliability. Ensuring the safety and stability of the car will become a key factor to be considered when designing the electronic and electrical architecture of the car.
