Reinventing the Wheel? - Automotive Systems Design Challenges

Abstract

Driven by new automotive functionality and applications (like automated driving and vehicle-to-X-connectvity) and fueled by the entry of new players from the IT industry, the automotive industry is currently breaking with its traditional architectures and development processes. Nevertheless the demanding requirements with respect to cost, variability, support of legacy software and dependability still need to be fulfilled. This talk will give insight into the ongoing transformation and upcoming research challenges in the automotive industry.
