Continental's sensor suite will be 6th gen Euro NCAP compliant

Continental builds on its legacy of developing the onboard computer for the Volkswagen ID.3 and ID.4 electric cars by also showcasing its end-to-end network solution for autonomous cars and intelligent mobility. This solution integrates sensors, a high-performance computer and connective tissue to the cloud. It provides fast and a low latency connection of the vehicle network to the outside world and it enables real-time processing. Continental says sifter functions are distorted between the cloud, the high-performance computer and zone controllers. Continental says that functions ADAS systems can also be integrated into the system and it has also developed its own 5G modem for cars offering scaling computing (via edge computing) and improved cybersecurity.

Its edge computing platform will allow cloud to vehicle communication

This builds upon Continental's work in the space of a 5G hybrid V2X platform. The development of the Continental Automotive Edge Platform is another advance. It is a module hardware and software stack that aims to make things convenient for drivers to obtain new functions via OTA updates that will happen through the lifespan of the vehicle. The CAEdge connects to the vehicle via the cloud thanks to a virtual workbench, offering numerous opportunities for the development and maintenance of the software functions of the vehicle.
