Panel:
- Andreas Hoertling, Systems Architect Expert, Bosch
- How do zonal architectures impact the design, development, and functionality of SDVs?
- What are the main challenges to integrating zonal architectures into SDVs, and how can they be overcome?
- What are the potential cost and efficiency implications associated with developing and maintaining zonal architectures?
- How will zonal architectures evolve over the next decade and beyond?
Panel: Functional safety and the software-defined vehicle
As vehicles increasingly rely on software for critical vehicle functions such as engine control and collision avoidance, ensuring their safe operation is essential amidst potential faults or errors. As a result, functional safety is playing a central role in the shift to software-defined vehicles (SDVs).
- What are the biggest challenges in implementing functional safety for complex software systems in SDVs?
- What tools, methodologies, and standards can engineers use to overcome these challenges?
- How can engineers balance the need for innovation and rapid development with the rigorous requirements of functional safety?
- How will the role of functional safety evolve as we move towards Level 5 autonomous driving?
