NXP uses the S32G Vehicle network processor to unlock the full potential of vehicle data

     NXP Semiconductors announced the launch of the new S32G vehicle network processor. This processor marks a major turning point in the design and implementation of vehicle architecture. As the latest in NXP's S32 processor family, the S32G processor helps the automotive industry shift to high-performance, domain-based vehicle architectures, as well as reduce software complexity and improve encryption security and functional safety. The S32G has been adopted by major Oems worldwide and plays an important role in the service gateway, helping Oems transform from vehicle manufacturers to vehicle data-driven service providers and thus expand business opportunities.

     In the new business of data-driven vehicles of the future, connected cars will require significant improvements in computing performance and communication security. The S32G processor takes automotive cybersecurity to a whole new level by securely managing the transmission of vehicle data and protecting critical applications from malicious exploitation. The S32G is the world's first integration of a traditional MCU and a high-performance MPU with ASIL D functional safety on a single chip, while integrating a network communication accelerator, which significantly improves performance compared to previous single-function chips.

     As vehicles continue to move towards connectivity, automation and electrification, there will be a proliferation of data-based services. Backed by NXP's robust safe and reliable processing technology, Oems are already investigating new business models such as vehicle use-based insurance, vehicle health monitoring and fleet management services.

     Moreover, the S32G isn't just a network processor. The unique combination of features enables it to support the latest ADAS applications and provide secure and reliable communication capabilities that significantly improve the overall integration of the vehicle network. "We believe that the unique combination of network communication, computing performance and functional safety offered by the S32G processor is a perfect fit for our next generation of ADAS domain controllers," said Bernhard Augustin, Director of ECU development at Audi Autonomous Driving.
