Summary

Clear tendency to: Higher Integration (SOC) Digitalization of Systems Move from HW to SW implementation of functions (Middleware) Networking of Systems

The Innovation gets momentum from the Consumer world Mobile phone I-Pod Social networking

The complexity calls for Standardization

Autosar ... not including Car Infotainment Genivi ?

Strong increase of embedded SW in all new applications related to ADAS, clearly driven by European Automotive OEMs

21

Summary

Need to focus on key competencies

Keep leadership through innovation

Digital Broadcasting (Radio and TV)

Advanced Navigation

Telematics / e-Call / e-Tolling

ADAS

Communication Infrastructures

22

Recommendations

Support fast introduction of in-car technology E-Call

Advanced Navigation E-Horizon ADAS

Autonomous Driving

Mandating Safety relevant Systems

Building-up and support an adequate V2x Infrastructure GSM/GPRS (G2.5) is a mature and reliable network to accomplish Automotive services This network will progressively be overlayed to UMTS+LTE GSM may be progressively switched off after 2020

Promoting a dedicated interdisciplinary university education Mechatronic (Mechanics and electronic) „Softronic“ (Software and electronics)

23

... Embedded is the key word,

not only for Automotive...

also in Industrial, Medical,...
