About

AUTOSAR will be the global established standard for software and methodology enabling open E/E system architectures for future intelligent mobility supporting high levels of dependability, especially safety and security.

Our motivation is

• to manage the software and E/E complexity associated with growth in functional scope
• to support the flexibility for product modification, upgrade and update
• to leverage the scalability of solutions within and across product lines
• to increase scalability and flexibility to integrate and transfer functions
• to improve quality and reliability of software and E/E systems

Our goal is

• to fullfil future vehicle requirements, such as availability and safety, SW upgrades/ updates, and maintainability
• to increase scalability and flexibility to integrate and transfer functions
• to increase a higher penetration of "Commercial off the Shelf" SW and HW components across product lines
• to re-use of software
• to accelerate development and maintenance
• to improve containment of product and process complexity and risk
• to optimize costs of scalable systems

Modularity and configurability

• HW independence by a layered basic software architecture for automotive electronic control units
• Transferability of functional SW-components within an E/E-system
• Resource optimized configuration of the SW infrastructure of each ECU
• Scalability of the E/E-system across the entire range of vehicle product lines

Standardized interfaces

• Standardized APIs and service interfaces
• Facilitate encapsulation of functional SW-components
• Definition of data types of SW-components

Feasibility and producibility

• Inter- and intra-ECU communication across all nodes of a vehicle network
• Easy integration of customer specific functional SW-modules components
• Exemplary AUTOSAR software implementation of the Adaptive Platform to accelerate the development of AUTOSAR products
