Start the flow! Why timing of autonomous driving functions needs to be taken into account at an early stage

Zusammenfassung

A large number of sensors and actuators, combination of high-performance computer and safety critical applications, complex data flows with a huge amount of data and many Tier-2 software suppliers are fundamental challenges for the development of autonomous driving systems. To handle the technical and organizational complexity the most proven development methods and tools are just good enough. Many customer projects have shown focussing early on timing is a key for success. Using state-of-the-art simulation and worst-case analysis tools for evaluation of real-time requirements and design optimization does massively reduce project costs and risks.
