Domain centralized architectures will gradually evolve to quasi-central and central computing architectures
The evolution of the brand-new automotive E/E architecture, which may take ten years, can be divided into three stages:
Volkswagen has upgraded the MQB distributed E/E architecture to the MEB

Evolution of Great Wall’s E/E Architecture
Great Wall has independently developed the GEEP E/E architecture which has evolved to the third-generation GEEP 3.0 so far. As the domain control architecture, it
boasts 4 domain controllers. With integrated software and hardware and self-developed application software, it has been successfully applied to all models. At present,
Great Wall is actively developing the fourth- and fifth-generation E/E architectures.
