What is AUTOSAR?

AUTOSAR (AUTomotive Open System ARchitecture) is an open and standardized automotive software architecture, jointly developed by automotive manufacturers, suppliers, and tool developers. It provides a common platform for developing and integrating automotive software, enabling modularity, scalability, and reusability. AUTOSAR aims to manage the increasing complexity of automotive E/E (electrical/electronic) systems, improve software quality, and facilitate the exchange and reuse of software components across different vehicle platforms and manufacturers. It is commonly used to standardize ECU (Electronic Control Unit) software development, allowing for greater interoperability and reduced development costs.
