Software in cars

From an embedded software engineer’s point of view, a car has become a mobile box full of embedded systems. This article reviews all aspects of embedded software in cars, including operating systems, protocols, development tools and international standards.

The software content in automotive systems has exploded in recent years and Mentor Graphics is very active in this area.
