AUTOMOTIVE ETHERNET FROM INTREPID SYSTEMS
As vehicles become more autonomous, electrified, and software‑defined, the demands on in‑vehicle networks are exploding. Automotive Ethernet is evolving to meet those demands.
“The biggest evolution is speed,” says Colt Correa, Chief Operating Officer of Intrepid Control Systems. “Autonomous systems need massive amounts of sensor data—radar, audio, uncompressed video—and legacy networks simply can’t handle that bandwidth.”
Where Automotive Ethernet Is Headed
- Higher speed grades to support AI‑driven perception systems
- Uncompressed video transport, avoiding the latency introduced by compression
- Centralized computing architectures, requiring fast, deterministic data flow
- New bus‑based Ethernet topologies, reducing wiring and cost
Perhaps the most surprising development is that automotive Ethernet is no longer just for cars.
Beyond Automotive – Technology Important to Multiple Industries:
- Aerospace and space systems, where weight reduction is critical
- U.S. military applications, formally approving certain automotive Ethernet standards
- Factory automation and robotics, already adopting Ethernet‑T1 variants
- Any embedded system where two‑wire, high‑bandwidth communication is an advantage
“Anywhere weight, cost, and reliability matter, automotive Ethernet has a role,” Correa says. “We’re seeing real applications far beyond the automotive industry.”
Intrepid Control Systems is helping engineers prepare for this future through its global training programs—available virtually, on‑site, or at its Troy, Michigan headquarters. | MORE INFORMATION: SDVs Today: Driving Factors, Role of AI & Trends on the Horizon Automotive Ethernet & The OPEN Alliance Intrepid’s YouTube Channel |
