Global and China Software-defined Vehicle Industry Research, Panorama and Strategy Report 2023-2024: How to Build Intelligent Driving Software-defined Vehicle (SDV) Architecture?

DUBLIN, March 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Software-defined Vehicle Research Report, 2023-2024 - Industry Panorama and Strategy" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

How to build intelligent driving software-defined vehicle (SDV) architecture?

The autonomous driving intelligent platform can be roughly divided into four parts from the bottom up: hardware platform, system software (hardware abstraction layer + OS kernel + middleware), functional software (library components + middleware), and application algorithm software (autonomous driving, HMI, etc.).

Autonomous driving R&D links mainly involve software engineering and hardware engineering:

• Basic software for intelligent driving: real-time vehicle control operating system (narrowly defined OS), intelligent driving middleware (ROS, CyberRT, DDS, AutoSAR), autonomous driving operating system (broadly defined OS), etc.;
• General algorithm design for intelligent driving: positioning, perception, planning, decision, etc., covering from small models to foundation models (BEV Transformer, Occupancy Network, autonomous driving end-to-end neural network, etc.);
• General algorithm training for intelligent driving: AI deep learning software platform, intelligent driving data training set, etc.;
• Terminal-cloud integration for intelligent driving: data closed loop, data collection and labeling, simulation test (scene library, simulation platform), cloud native platform, HD map, etc.;
• Intelligent driving system integration and engineering implementation: FCW, LDW, ALC, APA/AVP, etc.
• Intelligent driving assistance software: ADAS performance evaluation, ADAS data recording, etc.
• Intelligent driving hardware engineering: domain controllers (chips, hardware engineering), sensors (LiDAR, radar, ultrasonic radar, camera, GNSS, IMU, etc.), system engineering, chassis-by-wire, brake-by-wire, etc.;
• Intelligent driving hardware system design: computing platform hardware system architecture design, vehicle chip system design, vehicle sensor system design, etc.

As for automakers, emerging carmakers with strong R&D capabilities will be more inclined to build a fully independent intelligent driving "underlying kernel + chip" system:

• Tesla: Tesla has created its own RTOS (RT Linux, written in C language) based on the Linux system. On this basis, Tesla has built domain controllers, reconstructed automotive EEA, and applied self-developed FSD SoC;
• Li Auto: deeply customized on Linux kernel, Li OS will be first installed on Li Auto's all-electric models. It will also pack Li Auto's self-developed intelligent driving SoC in the future;
• NIO: SkyOS, a vehicle all-domain operating system based on Linux kernel, is the underlying operating system for NIO cars. It is installed on NT3.0 platform-based models (e.g., ET9) and is adapted to the chip platforms of NVIDIA, Qualcomm, Intel and others. In addition, it will also be equipped with Shenji NX9031, NIO's self-developed intelligent driving SoC.

Chinese operating system providers have launched open source plans.

Currently, China is quickening its pace of developing open-source vehicle OS:

• In 2021 Huawei HarmonyOS was fully donated to the OpenAtom Foundationton to build the OpenHarmony open source project.
• In 2022, Banma Zhixing announced that AliOS Drive will effectively enable layered decoupling, cross-domain sharing and open cooperation.

How to build intelligent cockpit architecture for software-defined vehicles (SDV)?

Intelligent cockpit R&D links mainly involve software engineering and hardware engineering:

• Cockpit basic software: vehicle operating system (QNX, Linux, Android, HarmonyOS, AliOS, etc.), virtual machine (Hypervisor), middleware (AutoSAR);
• Cockpit system software development: application development is mainly based on Android, cluster software development based on QNX, and TBOX software development based on Linux;
• Cockpit interface design: UI design software;
• Cockpit application software: user portrait, situational awareness, multimodal fusion interaction (AR HUD, voice, acoustics/audio, DMS/OMS, face recognition, gesture recognition and other software development). Foundation models have begun to be used in cockpit multimodal interaction;
• Cloud services: vehicle-cloud integrated platform, cloud native platform, information security, OTA development and operation strategy, etc.
