Siemens is prepared to urge car OEMs at CES 2020 to envision the architecture of their vehicle platforms in five years' time.

Bolstered by its new partnership with Arm, Siemens is ready to ask car OEMs some tough questions at the Consumer Electronics Show. Namely: 1) Do you already know what the architecture of your 2025 automotive platform looks like? 2) If so, have you verified your whole vehicle?

In an interview with EE Times, David Fritz, global technology manager, Autonomous and ADAS at Siemens, explained that if carmakers are still dithering with issues like which CPU, GPU, or MPU they should use in next-generation cars, "they've already missed the boat."

Fritz described recent automotive history as making "a series of incremental changes to advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS)." While carmakers might feel compelled to add hot new features that pop up in the market, too many have resorted to "one Band-Aid solution after another" for new models, he said, arguing that they've been doing so without really thinking about the architecture of 2025 vehicles. That's one reason, he said, why car OEMs have failed to chart a single migration path from ADAS to autonomous vehicles (AVs).
