Overview of Embedded Systems to Build Reliable and Safe ADAS and AD Systems

Automotive industry is a key sector in developed countries, taking advantage from Electronic and Semiconductor industries, for which this work is focused on, including an overview of embedded systems and related technologies for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) development, end user applications and their implementation (SoCs, Application Processors-APs, MCUs, software and boards), manufacturers solutions, architectures, trends and other aspects (like methodologies) to improve functional safety, reliability and performances. The current status to permit the transition from ADAS to Autonomous Driving (AD) systems and Self-Driving Cars (SDC) is also explored.
