Server-based Vehicle Architectures

A silent revolution is transforming the Automotive industry, changing the whole ecosystem of vehicle architectures, transforming the vehicle into a smartphone on wheels.The upcoming server-based vehicle architectures enables new functions and services so that drivers and passengers will be always connected, safe and can enjoy new levels of convenience. For example, it allows for over-the-air updates and it is a prerequisite for Autonomous Driving. It also migrates functions with high requirements towards safety and automated driving as well as empowering a seamless user-experience.

Continental provides scalable end-to-end solutions, translating customers' needs into efficient and secure cross-domain platforms that allow for high re-use across carlines. We cover all functional areas in the vehicle, from User Experience in the cockpit, to an end-to-end vehicle network including the cloud, to Automated Driving and Safety and Motion functions. Please find an overview over our products for the different functional areas that can be combined to efficiend end-to-end and cross-domain solutions.

AD High-Performance Computer

Continental’s High-Performance Computer for assisted and automated driving (AD HPC) performs the computational tasks required for perception, human vision, driving and parking functions.

Safety & Motion HPC

The Safety and Motion High Performance Computer (S&M HPC) is an integration platform for the central management of vehicle motion. Additionally, it plays the role to host all non-AD enhanced safety functions, as well as decoupling point between the vehicle head and the vehicle motion.

Body High Performance Computer

The Body High Performance Computer acts as a supercomputer for future vehicle architecture, managing large data for cloud and IoT services.

Cockpit High Performance Computer

The Cockpit HPC integrates all cockpit domains into one powerful High Performance Computer (HPC). It is our centerpiece of UX in the car.
