Software
On the Way to SVA
by Sebastian Blanco
Aptiv says its Smart Vehicle Architecture central controller is the
key to simpler, more compact and higher-performance ADAS
and AV systems.
Despite the myriad challenges the world faced
in 2020, it was a " great year of growth " for Aptiv, the
technology company formerly known as Delphi
Automotive, according to senior VP and CTO Glen
De Vos. He outlined Aptiv's next steps toward " democratizing " both automated driver-assist systems (ADAS)
and autonomous-vehicle (AV) systems in a recent
online media conference.
Underpinning Aptiv's growth are its technology
pillars - the Active Safety Domain Controller (ASDC)
and the Smart Vehicle Architecture (SVA). Three major
OEMs use Aptiv's " satellite " SVA for their AV technology
today, De Vos noted, and two more are launching in
2021. He projected that SVA will be deployed on 10
million vehicles by 2025. In some cases, the OEMs will use
the SVA across every vehicle in their lineups, over time,
while others will target SVA use by a brand or by region.
Shift from 'smart' sensors
De Vos described the SVA as the " brain and nervous
system " of its AV technology, with the ASDC serving
as the brain and its sensor array the nerves. The " satellite " approach enables radar sensors to be up to
70% smaller and 30% lighter, while Aptiv's software
centralization simplifies over-the-air updates (OTA)
- one central controller with all the software is easier
to manage than a set-up where the intelligence is in
the sensors themselves, De Vos argues.
