The goal of CeCaS is to enable connected vehicles with high automation. To achieve this, the software functions in the vehicle are centrally controlled to manage the growing complexity. With a platform-oriented development and a hardware/software co-design, a flexible solution can be created from the basic function to the user. Additionally, the architecture will transition from a domain-based hierarchy to a zonal and redundant high-availability architecture. This is achieved through the use of "folded neural networks." New, heterogeneous computing structures that offer high performance with low energy consumption are being researched. These are made robust against disturbances through adapted construction and connection technology, as well as suitable cooling methods. More info
