Hidden savings in ECU development: Cut costs without cutting corners


 

Summary

Automotive OEMs and Tier-1s face relentless pressure to reduce costs – all while maintaining quality, meeting safety requirements, and keeping pace with “China speed” development cycles. Whether developing small sensor/actuator ECUs, gateways, or fail-operational ADAS controllers, the question remains: where are the untapped savings?

In this webinar, Elektrobit’s Peter Asemann shares concrete ways to leverage recent advances in hardware and software to reduce ECU development costs.

Key topics and takeaways:

  • Right-sized software for smaller ECUs: How to get the stability and ecosystem benefits of AUTOSAR on low-cost microcontrollers, reducing per-unit software spend across high-volume programs.
  • Software-based fail-operational safety: How systemic software redundancy on a single MCU can replace multi-chip hardware approaches for braking and steering, cutting BOM and integration costs.
  • Portfolio-level savings strategies: How to structure embedded software procurement to unlock bulk efficiencies across your full ECU landscape.
