Presentation

SDV electrical architecture and challenges to testing and fleet logging

This presentation will provide an overview of changes to electrical architectures in support of software defined vehicles and the new challenges these changes will pose for testing and validation. Details about the reasons why there is a shift toward automotive Ethernet in zonal architectures and away from more legacy networks like CAN and FlexRay in domain architectures will also be given, as well as new testing techniques that will be required to support these industry trends.
