Progress on the AUTOSAR Adaptive Platform for Intelligent Vehicles

Abstract

The AUTOSAR community has grown to over 280 partner companies since the first AUTOSAR Classic Platform specification was released more than twelve years ago. Based on the well-established high-quality standards, mature processes and strong communication channels inside this organization, AUTOSAR has been developing a completely new approach to cope with the challenging market trends in the automotive industry such as internet access in cars, highly automated driving and vehicle to vehicle communication. The result of these activities is an intelligent and flexible software infrastructure which therefore is named AUTOSAR Adaptive Platform. The software platform runs on high-end computing hardware and supports parallel processing on many core systems and GPUs. Since AUTOSAR has its roots in the automotive field, the partnership’s prioritization of safety and security features is as self-evident as the compatibility to systems based on the AUTOSAR Classic Platform. A suitable software framework for safe and secure applications is now available.
