PRinciPle Of
AUTOSAR
AUTOSAR has the principle
Cooperate on standards,
compete on implementa-
tion. As the delivery of
implementations in
particular implementa-tions of basic software and
tooling must be enabled
and supported worldwide,
the best quality and service
is expected in free competi-
tion on implementation
level.
AUTOSAR
The ViSiOn
AUTOSAR aims to improve
complexity management of
integrated E/E architectures
through increased reuse
and transferability of SW
modules between OEMs
and suppliers.
The AUTOSAR development partnership is o-
cused on managing the growing complexity in
the development o automotive electric/elec-
tronic (E/E) architecture, with the aim to improve
development eciency without making com-
promises on quality. AUTOSAR paves the way
or innovative electronic systems that urther
improve perormance, saety and environmental
riendliness.
AUTOSAR The ideA
The AUTOSAR standard consists o a set o speci-
cations that describe a sotware architecture,
application interaces and a methodology. The
AUTOSAR layered sotware architecture ena-
bles the development o independent sotware
components. These can be used in vehicles
o dierent manuacturers, and in electronic
components o dierent suppliers that can
span multiple product generations. It re-
sults in a high reliability o the overall system
with signicant cost and capacity benets.
The AUTOSAR principle Cooperate on standards,
compete on implementation oers various ben-
ets to automotive manuacturers, automotive
suppliers, tool providers, and even new market
entrants.
AUTOSAR (AUTomotive Open System ARchitecture) is a partnership
between
automotive manufacturers, suppliers and tool and semiconductor
vendors. Since
2003 AUTOSAR has been working on the development of an open,
standardized
software architecture for automotive electronic control units
(ECUs).

BenefiTS Of AUTOSAR
The realization o the AUTOSAR industry standard will provide
signicant benets or
OEMs, suppliers, semiconductor vendors as well as or tool and
service providers and new
market entrants.
Many OEMs and suppliers rely on the standard and are introducing
AUTOSAR in a widerange o applications. 25 million ECUs produced by
the AUTOSAR Core Partners in 2011 are
based on the AUTOSAR architecture, with 300 million planned or
2016.
