Inside the Book
Part 1: Introduction to Automotive IoT
This opening section lays the foundation for understanding the rapidly shifting landscape of the automotive industry. It explores how modern trends—such as the rise of connected, autonomous, shared, and electric (CASE) vehicles, and the move toward software-defined vehicles (SDVs)—are transforming both consumer expectations and technical realities. The authors introduce readers to the world of automotive IoT, breaking down the technological convergence of embedded systems, cloud platforms, and mobile applications. Through rich examples, including remote diagnostics, fleet telematics, and personalized in-car services, readers begin to grasp the scope and potential of connected vehicle ecosystems and the growing need for seamless, secure integration across domains.
Part 2: Vehicle Architectures
In this section, the book transitions into the structural heart of modern vehicles, beginning with a historical view of how distributed ECU-based architectures evolved into centralized domain and zonal systems. The discussion deepens with coverage of domain controllers, virtualization via hypervisors, and the shift toward centralized computers housing multiple systems-on-chip (SoCs). The authors then introduce the foundational frameworks that underpin modern automotive software, such as Classic and Adaptive AUTOSAR, and show how these work together to enable advanced diagnostic and control functions. With practical illustrations of how diagnostic communication protocols like UDS and DoIP function across vehicle networks, this section highlights how next-generation systems are being designed for remote access, secure updates, and scalable software integration—all crucial for real-world IoT applications.
Part 3: Secure Development for Automotive IoT
As the complexity of vehicle software increases, so do the cybersecurity risks. This section takes a deep dive into the principles and practices that underpin secure automotive software development. It introduces key security frameworks and regulations, including ISO/SAE 21434 and ASPICE for Cybersecurity, while also placing them in the broader context of DevSecOps, NIST, and OWASP methodologies. Beyond standards, the book provides a practical roadmap for establishing a secure software development lifecycle (SSDLC), including threat modeling, secure coding practices, vulnerability scanning, fuzz testing, and more. The discussion also explores the challenges of securing the automotive software supply chain, with real-world guidance on vendor assessments, open-source software risks, and the implementation of Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs). Throughout, readers are shown how security can—and must—be built into every layer of modern automotive software.
Part 4: Automotive IoT Application Life Cycle
Shifting from planning and architecture to execution, this section walks readers through the complete lifecycle of building and deploying an automotive IoT application. It starts with system design fundamentals, guiding readers through real-world examples like remote diagnostics to demonstrate the interplay between vehicle gateways, cloud infrastructure, and mobile apps. The authors then explore how to architect cloud services and embedded systems that work in unison, covering deployment models, backend services, telemetry processing, OTA update mechanisms, and predictive maintenance. From there, the focus turns to the DevSecOps lifecycle, outlining each stage of modern CI/CD pipelines used to deploy and maintain secure, reliable vehicle software in production environments. This part provides the reader with practical, end-to-end workflows that integrate technical robustness with operational agility.
Part 5: Automotive Software Insights
In the final section, the book brings together everything covered so far by offering a comprehensive view of the broader processes, tools, and philosophies that drive high-quality automotive software development. It begins with an exploration of process frameworks like ASPICE and functional safety standards such as ISO 26262, tying them to engineering tools like DFMEA and root cause analysis. From there, the discussion moves into the realm of embedded development, covering essential engineering principles, hardware abstraction layers, memory management, and embedded operating systems. The book closes with a reflection on modern development culture—how agile methodologies coexist with safety and compliance standards, and how engineers from other domains can successfully transition into the automotive space. It’s a practical, forward-looking wrap-up that equips readers not just with knowledge, but with the mindset and adaptability needed to thrive in this fast-moving industry.
