NEW YORK, March 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The lengthening
lifecycle of vehicles is driving automotive Original Equipment
Manufacturers (OEMs) to plan several years of customer support
through regular Over-the-Air (OTA) updates. Achieving this requires
a digital Cockpit Domain Controller (CDC) with an architecture that
supports long-term updating and maintenance. According to a new
report from global technology intelligence firm ABI
Research, the computing power of the CDC will increase
significantly over the next few years, with graphical computing
power and deep-learning processing power (for AI-powered functions)
expected to double by 2030 for an average mid-market CDC.
OEMs are beginning to plan for several years of support, both in
software patches and bug fixes, and for delivering new added value
features to the driving experience. "This support and feature
roadmap requires a hardware and software architecture that supports
the continuous updating of vehicles over time. OEMs need a system
that accommodates quick, targeted updates by shipping vehicles with
planned overhead in computing power, software containerization, and
robust hypervisors. These can be accommodated by silicon vendors
such as NVIDIA or Qualcomm with their suite of high-powered
System-on-Chips (SoCs), along with hypervisor and software
specialists such as Blackberry QNX. The ecosystem hasn't fully
adjusted to OTA updates in mixed-criticality systems like the
digital cockpit domain controller yet, with most OEMs speculating
about the level of computing power that is needed for several years
of support and few going to their silicon and tier-one partners
with roadmaps of planned features," explains Abu Miah, Smart Mobility and Automotive Analyst
at ABI Research.
The computing power of the CDC will increase significantly over
time. The Tera Floating-Point Operations per
Second (TFLOPS) of an average mid-market CDC is
expected to rise from 1 TFLOPS in 2023 to 2.5 TFLOPS by 2030. Miah
adds, "One of the primary drivers of this increase is the
implementation of a larger number of higher resolution screens in
the vehicle to accommodate new high-end gaming and video-on-demand
features."
Building a 'future-proofed' CDC is not as simple as throwing
compute power at the vehicle. "OEMs, tier ones, and silicon vendors
must all work toward an ecosystem of hardware and software
agnosticism, modular architecture, and collaborative software
development if they are to match customers' expectations of
updates, patches, and bug fixes from the consumer electronics
space," Miah concludes.
These findings are from ABI Research's Future-Proofing Digital
Cockpit Domain Controllers application analysis report. This
