The BMW Group is headquartered in Munich, Germany, where the company oversees 149,000 employees worldwide and manufactures cars and motorcycles in over 30 production sites across 15 countries. This multinational production strategy follows an even more international and extensive supplier network. Supply chain volatility has significantly increased in the past years: first, driven by the semiconductor crisis, and subsequently by disruptions that affect […]

This is the second blog post in our 2-part series that provides guidance on how to simulate automotive Electrical/Electronic (E/E) architectures in AWS. In part 1, we discussed the trends in automotive E/E architectures and the general concepts and challenges facing automakers around simulation of Electronic Control Unit (ECU) software utilizing the cloud. In this […]

Over the last 15 years, the complexity of automotive Electrical/Electronic (E/E) architectures which include Electronic Control Units (ECUs), related sensors, actuators, and wiring inside vehicles has grown. Rather than continuing to add new hardware components to E/E architectures, automakers are shifting towards consolidating smaller, fixed-function ECUs into a larger High Performance Computer (HPC) while retaining […]

Autonomous driving (AD) and highly automated driving are key technologies in the automotive industry. Fully realized, they have the potential to fundamentally transform the automotive and mobility industries through improved comfort and safety and new business models for automobile manufacturers. The BMW Group is one of the leading OEMs in the automotive industry. This year, […]

The traditional hardware-centric approach of developing and testing automotive software using Hardware-in-the-loop (HiL), is slow and limited in scale. The physical Electronic Control Units (ECUs) are not readily available during the software development phase, thus limiting the development team’s ability to scale. Consumer demand and expectations highlight the need for vehicles to be more connected, […]

Drawing a parallel to the story of the IBM PC, this blog post shows how the introduction of an open hardware platform for automotive applications might create a similar environment driving innovation, disruption, and transformation for the automotive industry. This blog post also discusses the potential  advantages for the first automotive company to release such […]
