Electrical and electronical architecture of vehicles.

The increase in the number of electronic functions in vehicles, either autonomous or communicating with the vehicle environment, the cost and the complexity of the associated harnesses makes the optimization of the vehicle electronic architecture mandatory. The emergence of new electronics and wiring technologies open new leads for this optimization. The traditional, function per function, approach must nowadays be replaced with vehicle-wide methodologies in order to determine the best possible scenarios with respect to cost, reliability, safety, diversity handling, etc.
