Bosch is developing new electrical/electronic (E/E) architectures that ensure the complexity of future vehicle systems stays manageable and new features can be easily integrated. At the center of this development is the shift away from today’s domain-specific E/E architecture toward a cross-domain, centralized E/E architecture that uses only a few very powerful vehicle computers instead of a great number of individual control units. These vehicle computers will be connected to the remaining embedded control units as well as the sensors and actuators via zone ECUs. Bosch calls this approach a vehicle-centralized, zone-oriented E/E architecture. The reduced number of control units leads to lower system complexity coupled with a simultaneous increase in security, maintainability and performance. Finally the vehicle becomes a smartphone on wheels which is always on to enable a safe, efficient and convenient driving experience. We will work together on some technical key questions / aspects in this biggest transformation of the automotive industry ever seen.
