What is the future of the auto wiring harness in the software age?
At present, with the increasingly prominent trend of automobiles, electronic equipment on the car can be described as dazzling. At the same time, in order to create a personalized user experience, each vehicle functional module is highly interconnected. As one of the links of the interconnect, the auto wiring harness has increased significantly in terms of weight, length and cost. According to the prediction of the data analysis agency Global Market Monitor, the global auto cable assemblies market size will reach US$ 49.789 billion by 2025, which is close to the $50 billion mark. However, for consideration of fuel consumption, energy consumption, cost and environmental protection, the automotive industry must control the unlimited increase in the number of wire harnesses. In the process, it cannot be at the cost of reducing the performance and bandwidth of the vehicle signal link. Obviously, this is a contradictory and sharp industry problem. Define the car for software to empower the car With the improvement of the intelligent level of automobiles, the value of software has attracted widespread attention from the vehicle manufacturers and the industrial chain. From the perspective of multiple industry survey data, future software definition automobiles will be a very obvious trend in the development of the automotive industry. In terms of overall cost, it is expected that software costs will account for 30% of the overall cost of the car by 2030. In terms of code output, the average annual compound growth rate of the amount of car software code between 2015 and 2025 is about 21%. There is no doubt that software defines automobiles will reconstruct the car industry pattern. From the perspective of Gideon Kedem, software definition cars have brought new challenges to auto wire design, but it is also an important starting point for solving problems. "The automotive industry is entering the era of software defining automobiles, and the design transformation of the separation of software and hardware is required. Traditional car structures are increasingly challenged, because the entire vehicle manufacturer wants to achieve more software -driven functions, such as ADAS, autonomous driving, and autonomous driving. System and digital cockpit. For each new system, new ECUs and more wiring are required, and the limitation of physical space and weight, coupled with the rising manufacturing costs, make these functions that cannot be expanded at all. "GIDEON KEDEM Said, "the development momentum of the regional architecture has been rising, that is, through simplifying the wiring, placing the sensor more flexibly, and providing better scalability, it provides a improved framework for software -driven applications. It takes time for many traditional OEMs, but we find that more and more auto manufacturers expressed their intention to adopt the technology required for this new design method. " He pointed out that ...
