Automotive networking refers to the communication systems that connect various electronic components within a vehicle. This includes systems like Controller Area Network (CAN) and Ethernet, which allow different parts of the car, such as the engine control unit and infotainment system, to share information and work together efficiently. These networks enhance vehicle performance, safety, and user experience by enabling features like advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and real-time diagnostics. As vehicles become more connected, automotive networking plays a crucial role in supporting innovations like autonomous driving and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, which connects cars to infrastructure and other road users.
