Automotive, technology players join forces on in-car Multi-Gig-networking

Jun. 28, 2018 –

Autonomous driving is creating a need for a new breed of in-vehicle networking solutions that can transmit data between the increasing number of high-resolution sensors, cameras and processing engines at blazing-fast speeds. Against this background, a number of players from the automotive and semiconductor industry announced the formation of the Networking for Autonomous Vehicles (NAV) Alliance, to drive the ecosystem development required for the next generation of Multi-Gig Ethernet networking in vehicles.

Members of the NAV Alliance are chipmakers Aquantia and Nvidia, automotive tier one suppliers Bosch and Continental, as well as Volkswagen through its North American subsidiary Volkswagen Group of America. The NAV alliance's members are joining together in an effort to shape the future of in-vehicle networking technologies as society prepares for the paradigm shift to autonomous driving.

Akin to an advanced nervous system, this next-generation networking architecture is based on an array of ECUs, CPUs, GPUs, high-definition cameras, sensors, gateways, and storage devices, all connected through a high-speed, Multi-Gigabit/s Ethernet network that works to seamlessly move data throughout the vehicle securely and reliably.
