Automotive electronic control technology has increased rapidly since the first microprocessors were used on production vehicles in the mid-70's. The extent of vehicle usage and number of systems has grown as the capability of microcontrollers has improved and the cost for basic computing functions has decreased. The 'speed limit' on future vehicle development cycles will not be in the domain of the hardware, but in the software that must be developed to implement increasingly complex algorithms and provide connectivity to the various vehicle subsystems. This paper examines the pace of change in the semiconductor industry, and how suppliers and automotive customers must work together to manage the mismatch of automotive time lines. Additionally, the impact of silicon technology in moving vehicle performance optimization into software, and the management challenge of assuring the quality and reliability of this software will be discussed.
