Telematics Digital Convergence:How to Cope with Emerging Standards and Protocols (WP194) - This paper first describes and positions various emerging in-vehicle standards and their respective strengths and weaknesses. It then explores the designer's dilemma: how to build flexible and scalable system architectures which will allow the time in market of telematics platforms match that of the host vehicle while still communicating internally and to other external systems. It then goes on to discuss enabling technologies and how to implement reconfigurable and upgradeable telematics platforms that can be designed for protocols today and in the future.
