BMW’s heart of joy approaches his markets. In a press release published today, BMW outlines some of the advantages of the new class supercomputer. The new hardware and software system consolidates the computer performance in Four high -performance computersreferred to as “Superbrains”, “ This manages important vehicle functions including Driving dynamics, infotainment, automated driving and nuclear operation such as climate control and vehicle access.
The new electronic architecture marks a shift towards Software-defined vehicles (SDVS)Activate Continuous software updates And greater arithmetic efficiency In the future model listing of BMW. According to the BMW, the new system offers over 20 -the computing power of current generations of vehicle. A key change is the move to a Zonale cable architectureWhat reduces 600 meters of cabling and cuts Total weight by 30%. The cable system is divided into four zones –Front, middle, rear and roof-with Zonale controller Manage data flow.
BMW also provides Smart Efusesreplace up to 150 traditional fuses with Digital, programmable alternatives. These fuses allow it Selective service distributionWhat BMW says improves Energy efficiency by 20%.
The role of the four “superbrains”
The system is structured by four high -performance computers:
- Driving dynamics (“heart of joy”) -The first fully developed BMW Driving dynamics control system integrated Motor and chassis controlanswer Ten times faster as current systems.
- Automated driving – combined All autonomous and driver assistance functions In a single control unit, The computing power with 20 times of previous models.
- Infotainment (BMW Panoramic Idrive) – running BMW operating system XControl of infotainment, navigation and AI-controlled language interactions.
- Nuclear vehicle functions – managed Climate control, lighting, vehicle access and remote software -updatesintegrate 100 functions in a system.
The company has invested in a global software network with 10,000 IT and software expertswork with Over 1,000 software modules and 500 million code lines. Bmws Codecraft Cloud-based development platform Support Up to 75,000 virtual CPUs and processes 200,000 software builds per dayan increasing dependency on AI supported software development.
BMW has already given us a preview of its heart of joy with the concept of the Vision Driving Experience last year. The next demo will take place this summer and later in autumn with the start of the BMW IX3 Electric SUV.
