Modern cars have evolved from mechanical devices into distributed cyber-physical systems which rely on software to function correctly. Starting from the 1970s the amount of electronics and software used has gradually increased from as little as one computer (Electronic Control Unit, ECU) to as much as 150 ECUs in 2015. The trend in the architecture, however, changes as companies look for ways to decrease the number of central computing nodes and connect them with the increased number of I/O nodes. In this chapter we provide an overview of the book and the conventions used in it and introduce the examples which we will use throughout. We describe the history of the automotive software anchoring the events in the evolution of the market of the electronics and software in modern cars. Towards the end of the chapter we also describe which directions can be pursued to deepen the knowledge of automotive software.
