Innovations in the automotive industry implicate more complex electronic and software systems. This concerns not only comfort and multimedia features, but also safety-relevant services. Customers ask for a steadily expanding range of functions and carmakers respond by offering affordable, faster and more innovative vehicles. The increasing number of functionalities results in constant growth of electronic control units and higher complexity of electronic architectures.
Despite growing complexity, the needs to lower emissions, improved fuel economy and increased safety pose difficult challenges to engineers. Electronic systems are the driver for the majority of functionalities in future automobiles. More sophisticated features require the transmission of digital data at increasingly higher data rates.
