“Sustainability and Eco-Friendly Materials”
- Key technological trends include the adoption of Type 1 hypervisors, which run directly on vehicle hardware, offering high performance and security. These are preferred for safety-critical applications like ADAS and autonomous driving systems.
- For instance, In April 2024, BlackBerry partnered with ETAS GmbH to enhance safety-critical functions in next-generation software-defined vehicles.
- Vehicle manufacturers are reducing the number of Electronic Control Units (ECUs) in cars to save cost and improve efficiency. Hypervisors allow multiple functions to run on fewer ECUs without compromising system isolation.
- Hypervisors offer a layer of isolation between systems, improving cybersecurity by reducing vulnerabilities between mission-critical and non-critical applications.
- With vehicles increasingly becoming connected to external infrastructure and devices, hypervisors enable the safe separation of infotainment from vehicle control systems.
