The Dangers of Over-Engineering a Safe System

Attempts to increase dependability of a specific component without considering the question of overall system dependability may lead to the introduction of new problems. We examine the effect on dependability of adding software error detection to a 2oo2 system, consider the benefits and adverse consequences of this addition, and suggest other approaches to improving dependability.

Open Standards and Product Differentiation

With the increasing value of in-vehicle infotainment systems, the role of open software standards has never been more important to automakers. Unfortunately, misconceptions this remain: that open standards preclude product differentiation; that they are incompatible with “proprietary” software platforms; and that open source platforms are needed to avoid vendor lock-in and access programming talent. In fact, open standards often offer the best approach to realizing these benefits.

Client-side Challenges of M2M-enabled Updates for Mobile Embedded Systems

The number and diversity of current and possible M2M implementations in cars make them an excellent paradigms for examining issues of software and firmware upgrades to mobile and embedded platforms. All things being equal on the server side and with the network infrastructure (they are reliable and secure), M2M-enabled updates to automotive systems present three major client-side challenges: safety-related components, limited computing resources, and connectivity.
