Centralized Computing Architecture
Vehicle design that replaces distributed ECUs with a few powerful processors.
Centralized computing consolidates vehicle control into a small number of high-performance computers. This approach simplifies network structure, enhances data sharing, and supports AI-driven applications. It reduces hardware redundancy and improves update management. Combined with zonal architectures, it allows efficient data routing and power distribution. Centralized systems are key for future autonomous and software-defined vehicles.
