Vehicle Electrical/Electronic (EE) Architecture: What are the Novel Growth Opportunities and Strategies?
Original equipment manufacturers will adopt full zonal architecture only when risk and cost of transition from legacy systems reduces with technology maturity
Today, consumers expect their cars to offer features that enhance safety, comfort, and convenience. Over the years, every electronically controlled feature added to vehicles demanded its own electronic control unit (ECU) and supporting communication interfaces, adding more components and burdening vehicle electrical/electronic (EE) architecture with complexity, weight, and cost.
• A typical premium sedan would house about 100 electronic control units and a kilometre-long wiring harness but would not be future proof.
• Megatrends such as CASE convergence are expected to augment this burden as a growing number of features are added under each domain.
• These advanced features will require higher processing speed, no latency, and a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) enabler.
