Why distributed networks and smart sensors won’t survive in self-driving cars

As autonomous driving technology allows vehicles to become more independent of their human drivers, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) will not be able to rely on today's distributed processors and smart sensors, according to a new report.
The report, from ABI Research, forecasts that 13 million vehicles with centralized ADAS platforms will ship in 2025.
As more vehicle systems -- such as acceleration, braking and steering -- are taken over by computers, and as more sensors and machine v
