Cisco Software Defined Vehicle, SDV

In January, 2018 at the Exhibition of consumer electronics in Las Vegas Cisco and Hyundai Motor Company announced production of the hyper connected car of the next generation. The intra automobile network will appear in the premium class Hyundai cars in 2019.

In 2016 Cisco and Hyundai told about the plans for creation of the car in which new approach to communications will be implemented. It was going to develop the flexible and safe platform allowing to implement innovations and solutions for "smart" cars.

The platform allows to develop and to quickly implement new services. The wireless interface for installation of updates will reduce terms of an output of new features to the market.

Implementing the architectural concept "programmatically the defined car" (Software Defined Vehicle, SDV), the new network in the car prepares the soil for use of adaptive technologies. The built-in multi-layer system of information security and complete end-to-end network interaction which will provide real integration of all sensors is provided.

Development of solutions of first generation for support of the gigabit Ethernet-interface (1 GbE) will significantly increase the bandwidth of intra automobile network. The flexibility, low cost and the enhanced information security will become distinctive features of solutions. Thanks to existence of IP and Ethernet-services legacy devices will be able to interact with new Ethernet-services and devices.

Transition to the open, exclusively protected platform will allow both companies to lay the foundation for further implementation of innovations. Now the ability to integrate with DPCs of Hyundai for gaining access to data in real time and also connections of cars to city infrastructure for contact with street traffic lights and parking meters is investigated.
