Obstacles for POSIX based Operating System integration
• Programming language features
• Soft real-time requirements
• SafeCommunication
• HealthManagement
• OS vendor lock-in
• Overlap in platform design between
AUTOSAR and OS vendors
• Hypervisor architecture
• Programming language features
• Soft real-time requirements
• SafeCommunication
• HealthManagement
• Missing quality management system
• Missing requirements and architecture design
• Missing pre-existing software verification and
validation
• Safe memory management
• Confidence in software project management
• Liability in case of failure

Adaptive Platform for Automated Driving
• Dependable Backend Communication (VSS/SOVD) – with Covesa
• Dependable Demonstration with OpenX/OSI Standards – with ASAM
• SW Platform-agnostic Configuration (IDL)
• Dependable Hardware Acceleration/ Parallelism concepts – with Khronos
• Structured and streaming data types incl. logging
• Rust language AUTOSAR Working Group activity – with MISRA
First ISO26262-certified Adaptive AUTOSAR announcements are near to come

Autonomous Vehicles Europe 2022
Objective: Connected vehicle systems including in-vehicle, at-
edge and in-cloud services, interfaces and data exchange.
Extension of W3C Common Vehicle Interface Initiative (CVII)
COVESA (former GENIVI)
AUTOSAR & COVESA Collaboration
Objective:
Exchange of vehicle data, described by COVESA’s Vehicle
Signal Specification (VSS), between the cloud and AUTOSAR’s
platforms for in-vehicle communication.
 COVESA will focus on vehicle data and services as well as
cloud interaction
 AUTOSAR will offer an open interface for the overall system
architecture and the in-vehicle network
The collaboration will start with a Vehicle API concept being
discussed by both organizations (see next slides).
A joint proof of concept demonstration showing
 a seamless integration of communication
 exchange of data
 access of services between cloud and in-vehicle ECUs.

Open license model in assessment:
 MPL v2.0 for use of code
 CC BY-SA 4.0 for use of specifications
 CLA for contribution
Example: Preliminary Architecture for VSS (COVESA)
External connection handler
handles connection with external world
using protocol specific adapters
Data mapper
performs mapping between data model
