Software-defined vehicles (SDVs) rely on deterministic, high-bandwidth communication to support advanced driver assistance, centralised compute architectures, and over-the-air (OTA) updates. SDV zonal architectures implement automotive Ethernet as the backbone interconnect for these functions, linking domain controllers, gateways, high-performance compute platforms, and switches. Today, high-data-rate cameras (Fig.

When you hear people refer to cars as “data centers on wheels,” they’re usually thinking about how an individual experiences enhanced digital capabilities in a car, such as streaming media on-demand or new software-defined services for enhancing the driving experience. But there’s an important implication lurking behind the statement. For cars to take on tasks that require data center-like versatility, they need to be built like data centers.
