In the near future, all vehicles will be connected through a high-speed, low-latency connection to smart and powerful infrastructure that has all the promise and potential to radically change the way we think about infrastructure and the role it plays in the collection, analysis and delivery of data to and from the vehicle. This roundtable will challenge our thinking on where the edge of the vehicle architecture ends and infrastructure begins.
Domain consolidation has long been a concept just around the corner, but the industry is finally reaching an inflection point that requires new thinking about what the E/E architecture of a vehicle should look like for the future. This roundtable will explore the speed and scope at which these changes will happen and what the implications are for future vehicle architectures.
