AUTOMAKERS NEED CYBERTECH TECHNOLOGY
TO EVOLVE F.A.S.T.E.R.

Consumers have changed

People expect immediate gratification, multitasking, participating in multiple activities.

Consumers are always connected

People are always connected, at high-speed, with video rich experiences (5G pushes it to the next level).

Consumers face information overload

People have a shorter attention span due to the overload of information.

Consumers crave customization

People expect their car to be personalized to their taste and preferences

What is the Cybertech Tier?

Automotive Technology is Evolving FAST

Communications:

From CAN bus to Ethernet backbone

With millions of lines of code and hundreds of ECUs per vehicle, communications are shifting to an Ethernet backbone facilitating high-speed communications

Computing Power

From micro controllers to general purpose multi role computers

Vehicles house millions of lines of code and require massive processing power with high-performance controller and gateways

SECURITY:

From low need to super critical security by design

In today’s hyper connected automotive environment the need for secure vehicles and innovation must be built as a foundational part of the design

SW Architecture:

From monolithic firmware to modular SW functions

With hundreds of ECUs and dozens of suppliers, vehicle SW needs a SOA (Service-Oriented Architecture) to enable effective management, OTA updates, maintenance and security

SW UPDATES:

From pre-set factory settings to OTA fast updates

In a “software-defined vehicle,” ECUs need to be remotely updated and upgraded. The aftermarket industry is booming for downloadable SW features and products, without the need to take the car into the garage

HW Consolidation:

From hundreds of ECUs to consolidated subsystems

Hundreds of ECUs bring a great burden on vehicles through cost, weight, and complexity of wiring, maintenance & integration. The industry is moving towards consolidated ECUs that will serve multiple purposes

Cyber Technology for the Aftermarket -
The opportunity

The Cybertech Tier supplies solutions that can be retrofitted into vehicles that are already on the road.

  • Vehicle personalization and customization
  • Revenue generation from new market streams
  • Cost reductions and security and safety enhancements
  • Data monetization and enhanced customer to dealer relationship

The monetization of this data is reported to add up to $750-$450 billion in additional revenue by 2030, it is crucial to formulate new business models built on technological innovation and advanced capabilities to monetize car-generated data into valuable products and services, whilst maintaining the highest level of security and safety.

Industry Effects of the evolution to F.A.S.T.E.R.

Consolidation of HW and SW:

Consolidation in the suppliers eco-system as separate functionalities will now be supplied over a single HW component. As a result - expect M&As and restructuring of supply chains.

Zonal:

Moving into a Zonal Architecture will result in significant benefits in reducing costs and weight of electronics and wiring. Will push the consolidation of suppliers.

Automotive SOA:

This SW architecture will revolutionize the way SW is reused in the vehicle models and releases. Will cause a revolution in the respective supply chain, speeding up and reducing costs. Allowing for an emerging aftermarket based on SW features.

High Speed computing and High Speed Communications:

A “must” requirement that will drive the reliance of the OEMs on CyberTech vendors who have expertise in this area.

Security by Design:

Now that every piece of the vehicle needs to be “connected” Cybersecurity can no longer be an “afterthought” in the design of vehicles. This will again strengthen the reliance of the OEMs on the CyberTech tier.

the automotive industry should
learn from defense aviation

The automotive industry doesn’t need to invent everything from scratch…The aviation industry has started a similar evolution decades ago. Let’s take advantage of the knowledge gained there!

  • Communications: from dedicated bus to Ethernet backbone
  • Computing Power: from purpose dedicated controllers to consolidated high-performance processors
  • Security: from boundary protection to defense in depth
  • SW Architecture: from fragmented development to unified ecosystem with standardization
  • SW Updates: from fixed factory settings to dynamic OTA updates
  • HW Consolidation: from hundreds of ECU to consolidated domains
