Remote vehicle diagnostics is the ability to remotely detect and diagnose vehicle malfunctions. Connected mobility and improvements in On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) have made it possible to remotely diagnose vehicle malfunctions. Prior to connected vehicles the repair process was reactive. Service centers had little insight into vehicle malfunctions until they were brought in and inspected. Service […]

Driving a car powered only by light rays from the sun, across a 3000 km wide continent, in the shortest possible time, is no easy task. The University of Michigan’s solar car team is heading off to do exactly that, with help from High Performance Computing (HPC) on Amazon Web Services (AWS). The student team […]

Car drivers have become users that expect new and updatable features and a digital user experience in addition to driving comfort and safety. OEMs are thus committed to lay the foundations for faster innovation through a concept called Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV). This blog post demonstrates an example of how ETAS and AWS collaborate on cloud-native […]

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 […]
