    Hitting the software wall: the limits of consolidation in ADAS and automated driving systems
    Hardware consolidation in modern vehicles is no longer the industry's defining challenge, although it remains far from complete. The direction of travel is clear: from dozens of discrete electronic control units (ECUs) toward fewer, more capable compute platforms. Domain-centric solutions, including ADAS domain controllers (ADCs) and cockpit domain controllers (CDCs), have been the dominant intermediate step and are likely to remain the largest part of the industry for at least the next decade. ...
