Achieving Secure Software and Seamless Upgrades in Software-Defined Vehicles

Overview

The centralized architecture and software-based control of software defined vehicles position them well to support various domains, including Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), autonomous driving (AD), motion, energy, body and comfort, and vehicle experience features like infotainment and value-added services. It takes flawless coordination across various interconnected systems to ensure that all systems perform safely and effectively, which can result in slower development time and increased cost. And higher ASIL levels are required to mitigate risks associated with centralized architectures. The extent of these challenges deepens the need to ensure over-the-air updates do not compromise safety.

This shift of focus from mechanical to software in SDVs involves millions of lines of embedded code managed across several systems, layers, and vendors. As a result, the likelihood of errors or failures grows, while the processes for development, integration, and validation of embedded software become more intricate.

To address this growing complexity, a new method is required, emphasizing safety as a priority in nearly all automotive systems. Model-based system and software design enables smooth integration between requirements management, architecture, and functional software design.

Using an integrated model-based design and testing tool suite, OEMs and suppliers benefit from automatic code generation that’s both compliant and reliable for standards and facilitates seamless integration of new features and updates. You can identify early defects during the design phase, eliminate back-to-back testing between the model and the generated code, and remove the need for additional testing tools.
