Future highly automated and networked vehicles will require powerful computer systems to execute complex computations and process huge data volumes. Within the framework of the CeCaS project, 30 partners from industry and research are now developing suitable processors, interfaces, and system architectures for this purpose. Two institutes of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) are involved in this project that is coordinated by Infineon. CeCaS is funded by the Federal Research Ministry within the MANNHEIM Initiative.
Future generations of vehicles will be increasingly automated and networked to enhance autonomy in road traffic and gradually relieve drivers. This will require a high computation capacity that can only be reached by most powerful computer systems - in the vehicles, along the roads, or at computing centers. Apart from internal communication systems and systems connected to the outer world, vehicles will need a central computer. It will consist of components executing complex computations, processing huge data volumes, and reaching highest reliability.
