Auto manufacturer 2125 Audi has partnered with TTech, Austrian network solutions provider, to introduce key-enabling technologies for the piloted car, which the companies say will result in a highly integrated platform ECU named zFAS, which is based on a complex multicore network, hosting sophisticated sensor fusion and a variety of innovative functions such as piloted parking or driving.

"Our goal is leadership in piloted parking and piloted driving. For this purpose 7211 TTTech and Audi are developing a highly advanced high performance central electronic control unit," explains Ricky Hudi, head of electronics, Audi. "It will feature performance and computing capacity superior to the entire electronic architecture of today's Audi A4. With this high performance system we are entering the path towards piloted parking and driving in an entirely connected world."

"We are proud to leap forward with our cross-industry-proven core technology components towards Audi's vision of piloted driving," states Stefan Poledna, member of TTTech's executive board and co-founder.
