摘要: With the rapid development of autonomous vehicles, more and more functions and computing requirements have led to the continuous centralization in the topology of electrical and electronic (E/E) architectures. While certain Tier1 suppliers, such as BOSCH, have previously proposed a serial roadmap for E/E architecture development, implemented since 2015 with significant contributions to the automotive industry, lingering misconceptions and queries persist in actual engineering processes. Notably, there are concerns regarding the perspective of zone-oriented E/E architectures, characterized by zonal concentration, as successors to domain-oriented E/E architectures, known for functional concentration. Addressing these misconceptions and queries, this study introduces a novel parallel roadmap for E/E architecture development, concurrently evaluating domain-oriented and zone-oriented schemes. Furthermore, the study explores hybrid E/E architectures, amalgamating features from both paradigms. To align with the evolution of E/E architectures, networking technologies must adapt correspondingly. The networking mechanisms pivotal in E/E architecture design are comprehensively discussed. Additionally, the study delves into modeling and verification tools pertinent to E/E architecture topologies. In conclusion, the paper outlines existing challenges and unresolved queries in this domain.
