Recently, the ID. series of models have attracted much attention, and the first ID. model of SAIC Volkswagen has been officially offline in its new energy plant in Anting, Shanghai. The support of many domestic and foreign parts manufacturers is still indispensable behind the Volkswagen ID. series. On November 13, Continental released official information that the electronic structure of the Volkswagen ID. series was provided by continental. "Volkswagen id.3" in the past, our focus on vehicles was always, and chassis control. In the future, the concept of electronic architecture will appear more in front of consumers. At present, the automotive electronic architecture is undergoing a profound change, a large number of independent control units are gradually replaced by integrated, high-performance computing units. The calculation capacity of vehicle functional area will be provided by these calculation units. Continental said its icas1 had been put into mass production in Volkswagen. The ID. series of Volkswagen based on MEB will be equipped with icas1 technology. It is reported that each vehicle will be equipped with two or three servers to provide computing power according to the requirements of different configurations of Volkswagen ID. series models. Icas1, the so-called vehicle application server, whose functions include the Internet of vehicles supporting wireless communication, is based on the experience accumulated by continental in the field of gateway control unit. In addition, icas1 technology also covers the comprehensive functions in the field of body control, as well as the charging management system. It is reported that the high-performance computing platform jointly developed by continental and elektrobit constitutes the conceptual framework of this server. Helmut matschi, executive board member of continental group and head of body electronics business group, stressed that the mass production of icas1 represents that the automobile industry has entered a new era of developing complex electronic architecture. With the help of the new server architecture, the information update of vehicles will be simpler and faster in the future, and the automobile will truly become a part of the Internet of things. The change of on-board application server promotes the digital development of host plants and suppliers. In this process, the benefits of electric vehicles are particularly obvious, such as distance optimization route planning, positioning and other functions are dependent on on on on-board application server.
