This appendix presents a case study of the software‐enabled real‐time systems embedded in modern automobiles. The case study is representative of the methods and techniques used to develop complex embedded real‐time systems using systems engineering processes, methods, and techniques (both physical and software). Vehicles that have electronic systems similar to those described in the case study include electric and hybrid automobiles, trucks, buses, trains, boats, and airplanes. The case study is restricted to electronic control units (ECUs) and networks for modern gasoline‐powered automobiles. The appendix presents the characteristics of ECUs, ECU domains, and ECU real‐time communication networks. Complex interactions among the ECUs and connections to the Internet create the risk of both internal and external unsafe and insecure events. Self‐driving automobiles and other land‐based modes of transportation will soon be consumer items. ECUs, interconnected subsystems, and the interactions among them will continue to be core elements of these advanced systems.
