System of Systems Engineering Requires Architectural Frameworks

Key takeaways:

• New sensors, automotive software including on-vehicle embedded and off-vehicle (cloud) software, and computing advances are the building blocks that are enabling advanced driver-assisted system (ADAS) features and eventually driverless autonomous vehicles. The exponential growth of vehicle-related electronics and software is changing vehicle differentiation, development, verification and validation, and lifecycle support.
• To bridge the gap between today’s advanced driver-assisted systems and tomorrow’s fully autonomous vehicles (AV), transportation management systems, from fleet coordination to traffic management, need to become connected with today’s vehicles.
• System of systems practices are needed to...
