Why it’s more accurate to think of cars of the future as data-centers on wheels.
3:11—and it's a shame too as he missed a good one given that I talked with renowned software-defined vehicle experts Jeff Chou of Sonatus and Robert Day of ARM.
Established in 2018 by co-founders Chou and Yu Fang, Sonatus is a relative newcomer to the world of automotive, but the company is already making a splash as a supplier of embedded automotive software systems for the car and cloud.
As I discuss with Chou and Day, Sonatus and ARM essentially work together like peanut butter and jelly in the car and cloud, with ARM processing hardware running Sonatus software code in order to the meet the needs of their different automotive clients. It's primarily about creating the proper set of tools and processes necessary to manage the enormous amounts of data being generated by the car.
Forget the idea of cars as mobile-phones on wheels; as Chou says on the podcast, the more correct analogy is that “cars are like data-centers on wheels.” He then goes on to explain the shared properties of data centers and SDVs and describes the magnitude and complexity of the transformation that's already underway.
Chou and Day also discuss the advantages of the move to SDV for both consumers and manufacturers. Near the end of the conversation, we briefly discuss SOAFEE , an automotive consortium that Day used to represent which is aimed at aligning over 100 different OEMs and suppliers on the fundamental properties of SDVs. If you want to learn more about SDVs, ARM has a free “SDV for Dummies’ e-book available for downloadFor more analog swag, shoot us a question that we can answer on a future episode.
