Automotive OTA: Software updates over the air
EB cadian
Continuously improve vehicle functions and react fast to security issues through automotive OTA updates
A connected, but not updatable vehicle is a huge cybersecurity threat. Also, consumers are used to the short innovation cycles as offered by their smartphones and computers. That is why automotive over-the-air updates are becoming the method of choice for distributing everything from infotainment system features to operating system security patches and ECU updates or configuration changes.
The task of updating critical vehicle functions places high demands on the security and reliability of the processes used for this purpose. With the service-oriented communication in Adaptive AUTOSAR, new applications can be integrated into the entire system more easily.
In connection with OTA updates, Adaptive AUTOSAR also provides key functions as standard for purposefully updating functions and components and supports differential updates.
