Connecting Digital Worlds | Excellence in AI Strategy & Implementation | Voice of Customer based mindset
Infotainment Software simply isn't the turf of the established manufacturers. I have made this experience myself with several systems... Yet another part of the story is when the route planning as an integral part of all BEV is lacking intelligence. In our Social Media studies, we often come across users sharing their experiences, looking for and discussing alternatives. When in the past a decent navigation system gets me from A2B faster, it now becomes a crucial part of my battery management. It is a tough question for the industry. I would love to read some comments: Shall manufacturers leave the field to the pros at Google and Apple, or are they then risking on giving away a core competence of future car manufacturing and making themselves irrelevant?

𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐕𝐞𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐥𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦 𝐚𝐭 𝐂𝐄𝐒 2024 𝐁𝐨𝐬𝐜𝐡 𝐒𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐨𝐟𝐭𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞 While today numerous control units in cars typically manage different functions, tomorrow, a few central vehicle computers will integrate multiple system functions from previously separate domains. This requires new computers. The article describes the trend towards software-defined mobility and centralized vehicle and E/E architecture. In the future, a few central vehicle computers are expected to combine several functions. Bosch positioned itself as an innovation leader and demonstrated the fusion of infotainment and driver assistance functions at 𝐂𝐄𝐒® 2024 𝐢𝐧 𝐋𝐚𝐬 𝐕𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐬, 𝐉𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐲 2024. This step aims to reduce the complexity of electronic systems in cars while maximizing safety. In the medium term, Bosch aims to bring automated driving functions to smaller vehicle segments. #ADAS #AutomatisierteMobilität #Infotainment #SoC #Fahrzeugcomputer #autonomous #Infotainment #Fahrzeugcomputer #automateddriving #futuremobility #Innovation

One million charging processes in two weeks! An impressive figure. And it will further increase beside the vehicle sector with the strong shift in the predominant drive technology in the heavy-duty sector towards e-drives. Important point from my perspective more comfortable charging user experience (UX). Easy find a charging station (integrated route planning), ensure function of station, easy to connect, charge and pay (one system and best plug and charge and pay, standardized charging port) and clear price information (in money/kWh displayed in the car) as well as charging speed (kWh or km/min) #charging #ux #comfort https://lnkd.in/exntFJ2q

Bosch make #chip into an #allrounder The trend in cars is towards a central vehicle computer that controls many functions. Bosch bundles two of the most important on a single chip. Until now, it was necessary to install individual control units in vehicles for functions such as infotainment, assistance systems, powertrain or driving dynamics. This has increased the complexity of the architectures and required the coordination of many suppliers to ensure standardized interfaces. In the manufacturers' platforms, which will be launched on the market from 2024/25, these functions will increasingly be bundled in a small number of vehicle computers. This requires powerful processors that work with a #system-on-chip (#SoC). According to the technology group #Bosch, it is now the first supplier to succeed in bundling the essential functions of infotainment and driver assistance in a central computer and a SoC. "Our medium-term goal is to bring even more automated driving functions to the small and mid-size car segment," says Mobility boss Markus Heyn. The innovation is to be presented at the CES trade fair in Las Vegas at the beginning of 2024. The most important component inside the new vehicle computer, which Bosch calls the "#Cockpit & |#ADAS Integration Platform", is an SoC that simultaneously processes various functions from the two domains of infotainment and driver assistance. These include automated parking and lane recognition. This is combined with intelligent and personalized navigation and voice assistance. According to Bosch, the advantage for car manufacturers is that less installation space and cabling is required and costs are reduced. As software and hardware can be decoupled, the chip is compatible with all manufacturers. Market volume of 200 billion euros in 2030 The chip significantly reduces complexity in the vehicle. "Central vehicle computers are at the heart of software-defined cars. In future, they will control all domains in modern vehicles and reduce the current high number of individual control units," says Heyn. Bosch relies on a modular principle. Together with stand-alone solutions, for example for environment perception with a camera, customers can put together their own individual components on a modular basis. Bosch expects the market for automotive software to reach a volume of around #200billion euros by 2030. In the field of vehicle computers for #infotainment and #driver #assistance #systems, the company expects the market volume to reach 32 billion euros by 2030. According to Bosch, it is already doing good business with vehicle computers today. The company expects sales of three billion euros in 2026 from computers for infotainment and driver assistance alone. https://lnkd.in/dCcQ6kYH

The Road to Software-Defined Cars: Challenges and Opportunities The transition towards software-defined vehicles (SDVs) is proving to be a formidable challenge for established car manufacturers, necessitating a significant shift in development approaches, supply chain management, and corporate culture. This transformation is driven by the potential for software to significantly lower development costs, enhance customer loyalty, and boost sales, with digital services projected to generate substantial revenue growth for the automotive industry by 2040. Despite the allure of transforming cars into "smartphones on wheels," the journey is fraught with technical and operational hurdles. Notable setbacks have occurred in the industry, including delays in the launch of new electric vehicles due to software issues. The complexity of creating a true SDV involves developing a centralised computing system that can manage a myriad of onboard functions and seamlessly integrate with cloud-based services, a departure from the traditional hardware-focused model. The ambition to shift towards software-centric vehicles is also reshaping the dynamics between manufacturers and suppliers, leading to new collaborations but also challenges in managing these relationships. The industry is exploring standardisation efforts and the adoption of common platforms to facilitate development and reduce costs. However, the path forward involves navigating through a steep learning curve, investing in new technologies, and undergoing a cultural transformation within organizations. As the automotive industry races to develop SDVs, it faces competition from new entrants unburdened by legacy processes and cultures. These newcomers are rapidly advancing in the software domain, posing a significant threat to traditional automakers. The industry's success in this transition will depend on its ability to innovate, adapt, and collaborate in a rapidly evolving technological landscape. https://lnkd.in/d7riGTMg

In my opinion, charging convenience is still the biggest hurdle for electric driving. Neither range nor charging infrastructure bother me at the moment, but the charging itself and the integration into route planning could be significantly improved (only Tesla drivers don’t have that issue and know what I mean). An improvement should now be the live data in the Google maps integration of charging stations. #charging #comfort #technology https://lnkd.in/ePM97KZx

Interactive HMI continuing its campaign of conquest. Advanced HMI solutions as showcased here make for a truly immersive experience for both the driver and passengers - we will undoubtedly see more and more of these concepts in years to come. What I fail to understand though is how I should change the AC-settings or radio channels clicking through several layers of applications, while operating your smart phone is (rightly so) prohibited while driving. With all excitement for interactive HMI and V2X connectivity, me personally I feel haptic, physical buttons for AC and radio should remain a safety-relevant feature also in future cars.
