With its Plug & Play concept, Continental is presenting a modular and highly scalable solution for the integration of high-performance computers (HPC) in vehicle architectures. The highlight: Individual computing modules can be replaced or upgraded even when the vehicle is already in the field. Combined with a new type of liquid cooling based on flexible cooling pads, the system always maintains a safe operating temperature. As a result of the great leaps forward in SDV development, more and more functions in the vehicle are being controlled, monitored and maintained by software. According to various analysts, the market volume for software-based vehicle functions and services is expected to reach $640 billion by 2031. For example, vehicles will have to process ever greater volumes of data and enable a growing number of software functions for automated driving functions
