Description
Description
The Intelligent Cockpit Design in the Automotive Industry is a comprehensive analysis of the principles and architecture of multiple subsystems, basic software, and applications/services of the intelligent cockpit. It also reviews the principles and practices of the underlying technology of SoC or System on a Chip (SoCs integrate multiple components onto a single chip, offering advantages like reduced power consumption, smaller form factors, and enhanced performance). The first part of the book focuses on the origins, background and system architecture of the intelligent cockpit. The second part discuses the architecture, principles, and core technologies of the software and hardware technologies required for the intelligent cockpit. It covers vehicle buses, high-speed video transmission technology, data connection technology, display subsystems, visual subsystems, audio subsystems, basic software, applications, and services. The final part mainly focuses on the technical principles, design examples, and development trends of intelligent cockpit SoCs: covering cockpit SoC computing power evaluation standards, SoC design principles, automotive-grade chip evaluation standards, functional safety design principles, and future evolution paths
