Ethernet And MOST Go Head To Head For In-Car Network Solutions
The modern car has become yet another 'node' in the modern consumer's connected lifestyle. Traditional CANBus solutions are not up to the rigours of intensive data transfer and handling, and for this reason the automotive industry has been investigating alternatives. Some based on tried and trusted technology, others based on bespoke, industry specific hardware and protocols, as Mark Fletcher discovers.
The Future Of Machines
While our modern economy couldn’t function without it, the potential of machine-to-machine communications is far from exhausted; only a fraction of the available data is currently used and it holds the potential to provide deeper insights in the future.
