However, there are some signification additional requirements, in terms of number of antennae, their placement and how those sensors and notifications will be integrated into a central point in the vehicle.

He said: “There has always been a question of where do you put the connectivity device? Into the shark fin antenna module, in a separate box, and different automakers are taking different paths to market,” he said. “With a growing number of cars using a significant processing core, like an SoC from an Nvidia or Intel or Qualcomm, there’s a movement towards a more centralized architecture in the car and a shift to Ethernet in the car, with faster connections leading to the processor.”
