the next-generation vehicle EE platform can be easily modulized based on the topology of network composed by domain controllers and in-vehicle Ethernets. take an example with Singulato iS6, which has five domains: smart driving, powertrain, chassis, smart body, smart seat.

each domain need support by a domain controller unit(DCU), the core of which is a powerful computing chip, which is usually more powerful than traditional ECUs. in average, L2 requires computing power about 10TOPS , L3 needs 60TOPS, L4 needs 100TOPS.
