TRW has invested in the partnership to work with the partner companies to establish an open industry standard for automotive electrical and electronic (E/E) architecture. This standard will serve as a basic infrastructure for the management of functions within standard software modules and software interfaces. By allowing the integration and transfer of functions in future automotive applications, an automotive E/E standard should allow significant improvement in software updates and upgrades over the vehicle lifetime.


AUTOSAR foresees the completion of the test and verification phase of the proposed open industry standard by the end of 2006.
