According to foreign media reports, with the introduction of a series of so-called area control units (ZCU), in addition to high-performance computers, Continental Group (Continental) has implemented another key component of the server-based architecture.
The technology company has received multiple customer orders for regional control units from global automakers.
Electronics experts from Continental Group will promote the development of software-defined cars around the world.
, image source: mainland, the area control unit constitutes the middle layer of the server-based electronic and electrical (Emax E) architecture in software-defined vehicles.
Between the levels of sensors and actuators and high-performance computers, the area control unit can redistribute vehicle architecture, ensure smooth cross-domain interaction of electronic devices, reduce complexity, and become the key to wireless software updates in vehicles.
With high-performance computers, we have become a pioneer in the top control layer of a server-based vehicle architecture.
Through the area control unit, we also provide solutions for the middle tier.
Our platform-based modular development approach enables us to start mass production more than a year after receiving the order.
This is our strategy to bring software-defined vehicles to the road faster.
