Publication number: 20220365804Abstract: A vehicle computing architecture includes an application layer a software virtualization layer, a hardware virtualization layer, and a hardware component layer. The application layer includes a plurality of virtual functional components each representing a virtual function. The software virtualization layer includes a command registry having virtual commands. The hardware virtualization layer includes mapping logic. The hardware component layer includes a plurality of physical nodes each being a virtual representation of a corresponding hardware component. The virtual functional components call a virtual command from the command registry. The hardware virtualization layer selects one of the physical nodes corresponding to the received virtual command and translates the received virtual command to a hardware command using the mapping logic, and communicates the hardware command to the selected physical node.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 10, 2020Publication date: November 17, 2022Inventors: Frédéric Delahais, Jean-François Simon, Thomas Rayer, Jan De Moortel
