Intel’s holistic approach to boost automotive profits
Summary
The Intel approach looks at the vehicle systems as a “whole” and allows for the seamless movement of workloads between software-defined central compute systems and software-defined zonal compute subsystems, ensuring maximum flexibility, optimal cost and performance with significant energy efficiency benefits. For example, many EVs – even when off – support a feature that still monitors the external cameras for security threats or to recognise the driver as they approach. If we use Intel’s software-defined zonal controllers to handle camera streams, we can embrace data centre application orchestration concepts and migrate the workload to a lower-power device (in this case the zonal controller) and wake the central compute system only when needed. This is, in large part, how the PC industry transformed from early laptops that would hardly last an hour to the all-day battery life we enjoy today. Adopting a holistic system-level view, with the right silicon and features designed in coordination, will open new pathways to profitability, an approach Intel is uniquely positioned to lead.
