Over the Air (OTA)

Imagine your car getting better without you needing to drive to a service center. Sounds futuristic, right? Thanks to Over-the-Air (OTA) updates, this is already happening.

šŽš“š€ š®š©šššš­šžš¬ are software updates sent directly to your car, no dealership visit needed. Just like how your smartphone gets updated while you're sleeping, your car can receive updates while parked in your driveway.

If your car has a bug or issue, it can be fixed with a simple update, saving time and effort. Also it can add new features to your car, like a more efficient driving mode, improved battery life, or enhanced safety features.

Car brands like Tesla have been using OTA updates to enhance their cars continuously. They’ve pushed updates for everything from self-driving capabilities to better infotainment systems all without a visit to the repair shop. Now, even brands like BMW & Ford are following suit.

While it offer great convenience, there are concerns, especially around security. Ensuring that only authorized updates are installed is critical, and the industry is working hard to make sure these updates are as secure as possible.

OTA updates are paving the way for a future where cars are always up to date, smarter, and more efficient, transforming the way we drive and interact with our vehicles.

Electronic Control Units (ECU)

Image
  Electronic Control Units (ECUs) are often referred to as the “brains” of vehicles. These sophisticated components play a crucial role in managing various functions, ensuring that cars operate efficiently and safely. Most modern vehicles contain multiple ECUs, each responsible for different systems, such as engine management, transmission control, and even infotainment. ECU types šŸ‘‡ šŸ“ Engine Control Unit (ECU) šŸ“ Transmission Control Unit (TCU) šŸ“ Body Control Module (BCM) šŸ“ Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) ECU ECUs communicate with each other through a network, often using protocols like CAN (Controller Area Network). This interconnection allows for coordinated control of vehicle functions. For example, if the brake system detects a sudden stop, it can communicate with the engine ECU to reduce power and prevent skidding. Modern ECUs contribute significantly to improving fuel efficiency and reducing emissions. By constantly monitoring and adjusting engine ...

Active and passive safety

  Active and passive safety are two important concepts in vehicle design that focus on protecting occupants and preventing accidents.

ASIL Clasification

It is a key concept in ISO 26262, the functional safety standard for the automotive industry. ASIL categorizes the level of risk associated with potential hazards in an automotive system and defines the required level of rigor for design, validation, and verification to mitigate those risks. ASIL level is first determined at the hazard analysis and risk assessment stage. This level is then used to define safety goals, which are high-level requirements for mitigating hazards. Safety goals are broken down into functional safety requirements and then into technical safety requirements as part of the system design. Using these 3 factors ASIL levels are determined. 1️⃣ š’šžšÆšžš«š¢š­š² (š’): How severe is the harm caused by the hazard? 2️⃣ š„š±š©šØš¬š®š«šž (š„): How often can the hazard occur? 3️⃣ š‚šØš§š­š«šØš„š„ššš›š¢š„š¢š­š² (š‚): How easily can the driver or system control or avoid the haza...
