Aims and benefits of using AUTOSAR
AUTOSAR aims to standardize the software architecture of Electronic Control Units
(ECUs). AUTOSAR paves the way for innovative electronic systems that further improve
performance, safety and security.

• Hardware and software –

Proprietary
widely independent of each
other.
Application Application Software • Development can be de-
Software Standardized coupled (through abstraction)
Standardized Middleware Methodology
by horizontal layers, reducing
Standardized Basic development time and costs.
