Aptiv to unveil open source electronic robocar architecture
A box to control blind spot detection. A box to control lane change assist, still another to control adaptive cruise control along with a host of other boxes to control the various infotainment, safety and power systems. What’s in the box goes down, and so does the system it controls, often with no backup. But automotive supplier Aptiv believes it’s come up with a way to not only reduce the number of boxes while providing redundancies without raising costs—a major consideration for automated vehicles dependent on electronic sensors and controls.
