Using Nucleus Hypervisor for infotainment and AUTOSAR consolidation on a single ECU

Current approaches used to tackle the complexities in cockpit domain units are both cost prohibitive and lacking in performance. Utilizing virtualization in automotive software architecture provides a better approach when taking on these complexities. This can be achieved by encapsulating different heterogeneous automotive platforms inside virtual machines running on the same hardware. This approach not only provides a more efficient way of communication and reduces the cost of adding a dedicated microcontroller to each platform. It also reduces the development cost by reusing legacy platforms as encapsulated virtual machines without the need for new adaptation efforts.
