Advanced Topic 45 of 50 Mobile, Embedded & IoT
Automotive Software
CAN bus and safety standards in vehicles.
How it works
Cars run many ECUs communicating over CAN, LIN and Ethernet; AUTOSAR standardizes software, and ISO 26262 defines functional safety (ASIL levels), with OTA updates in modern vehicles.
Where it is used
ADAS and powertrain control.
Common pitfall
Safety and security certifications are rigorous.
Where it fits in the course
Automotive Software is topic 45 of 50 in Mobile, Embedded & IoT, rated Advanced. It follows Kalman Filter. The next topic is Smart Home Systems.
