The amount of emission-free energy generated is predictable to be equivalent to the power needed to serve more than 14,000 homes and to prevent more than 102,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere annually, which is the equivalent of removing more than 21,000 cars from the road.

AUTOSAR has developed standardized, open software architecture for automotive electronic control units, which is increasingly being applied in traditional vehicle electronic domains.

With the introduction of the AUTOSAR 4.x standard, most other OEMs are now also investigating or actively migrating to AUTOSAR. Therefore, it is increasingly important that the infotainment domain of a vehicle is able to support AUTOSAR, at least where an interaction with other domains is necessary.
