Cars are certainly transitioning from being solely a mechanical machine to being almost entirely a computer on wheels, meaning car companies are focusing more on electrical and software engineering rather than mechanical engineering. This is why in this video course “AUTOSAR Cybersecurity (G9_6)” we will tell you about what AUTOSAR is and how it affects development in automotive.

We begin by giving you a brief history of why and how AUTOSAR was established for you to better understand what exactly the use and value of AUTOSAR is, we will also mention the key partners of AUTOSAR and the key principles that it’s based on. Additionally, we will clarify the difference between the classic platform and the adaptive platform.

In the second part of the video, we will have a look on seven different security modules that AUTOSAR offers and then go on to explain the which platform type offers which security modules. Finally, we briefly explain how to apply AUTOSAR cybersecurity and what could happen if there would be no AUTOSAR at all.
