Standardize Your Software Architecture
for the Automotive Industry

The key to an organization’s survival is controlling code proliferation in its product. AUTOSAR will be the toolset to get a handle on exponential code increase. Software is on course towards standardization.

Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) will not rest until engine control units (ECUs) are independent of specific functions. They need computing power to achieve autonomous mobility and will get that through AUTOSAR. OEMs and others have been tweaking and tailoring the standard since 2003. It’s a continuously evolving standard and is spreading through the industry. All things electrical with a brain – or ‘with smarts’ in lieu of ‘a brain’ – will be required to adopt it.

No longer valid is an ECU dedicated to a single custom function. AUTOSAR code allows vehicle systems to live in a framework that controls what ECU is best used at what time and space. Efficiency is essential to autonomous mobility.

Functional safety was a major catalyst in driving the need. Its nature drives safety, which drives redundancy, which drives complexity and cost. To realign this cost paradigm shift, AUTOSAR is critical to minimize the impact and counter that increase.

LHP’s Ecosystem addresses the needs of functional safety and AUTOSAR to provide a solution that meets both standards, seamlessly and simultaneously.
