Future SDV networking system emerged with Automotive Ethernet as the de facto communication backbone for next-generation vehicles. These Ethernet switches play a pivotal role in aggregating and routing data across multiple zones, enabling efficient communication between local ECUs and centralized compute platforms capable of delivering scalable bandwidths from 100 Mbps up to 10 Gbps, deterministic communication through Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN), and compatibility with both legacy and IP-based architectures. Its ability to unify disparate vehicle domains—such as powertrain, body, chassis, infotainment, and ADAS—over a single standardized protocol significantly simplifies network design and reduces wiring complexity.
