Automotive |
|
With the convergence of advanced In-vehicle electronics, Communication technology and Telematics, automobiles of today are undergoing a complete re-invention yet again. In recent years, the industry has seen unprecedented global competition as seen in emergence of Asian manufacturers, forging of newer alliances and industry initiatives like the AUTOSAR.
The changing face of today's automobile can be credited to the following:
|
 |
Evolving but demanding consumer tastes and preferences |
|
Emerging Safety and Environmental norms |
|
Shorter innovation cycles using upcoming technologies |
|
Infrastructure Standardisation for distributed systems. |
|
| |
| Automotive systems and technologies are constantly being innovated, the impact of which is manifold:
|
|
Increasingly competitive landscape leading to frequent new product introductions with greater demand on innovation and faster design cycle |
|
System and sub-system designs constantly being driven by increase in electronic content as seen in a number of upcoming automotive applications: |
|
| |
 |
Powertrain & Transmission - Powertrain controls, Integrated Starter Alternator (ISA), Infinitely Variable Transmission (IVT), Electromagnetic Valve Train (EVT), Ignition sensing, 42V architectureautomotive-service-offerings |
| |
|
Chassis Control - X-by-Wire (Control-by-Wire, Brake-by-Wire), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Electronic Stability Program (ESP), Collision Avoidance |
| |
|
Safety - Lane departure warning, Tire pressure monitoring, Blindspot detection, Night vision, Vision enhancement, Driver conditioning and monitoring, Safety event recorder |
| |
|
Body & Comfort - Driver assistance, Keyless entry, Voice recognition, Passenger position sensing |
|
|
Increasing in-vehicle electronics content forcing OEMs to collaborate more by standardising the software development |
|
Supply chain challenges for OEMs ranging from the choice of CRM, PLM and ERP solutions to complex issues of managing vendor relations, Product Lifecycle Management and Inventory Management |
