Continental, a leading technology firm, has expanded its automotive electronics portfolio by introducing Zone Control Units (ZCUs) for car manufacturers in Europe and Asia.
These units are crucial components of server-based architectures, which also include high-performance computers.
The ZCUs have attracted multiple orders from global car manufacturers, highlighting Continental's role in advancing software-defined vehicle technologies. Positioned within the server-based electrical and electronic (E/E) architecture, ZCUs serve as a middle layer that connects sensors and actuators with high-performance computers.
This configuration simplifies the vehicle's architecture, enhances domain interaction, and facilitates over-the-air software updates, streamlining vehicle electronics for future innovations.
