Brake-by-Wire for Autonomous Driving: LSP Enables Safe System Integration

Coordinated system development is essential for bringing autonomous driving safely and efficiently into series production. This is especially true for safety-critical functions, where seamless integration and robust system architecture are key.

Brake-by-Wire as an Enabler for Autonomous Driving

The brake-by-wire system plays a pivotal role in supporting the autonomous driving stack. As mechanical fallbacks are increasingly replaced by software-based solutions, flexibility and functional integration improve – but system complexity and safety demands rise accordingly.

Key Challenges:

  • Redundant Communication and Power Supply:
    Enabling fail-operational performance in SAE Level 3-5 ADS through independent data and power paths.
  • Real-Time-Capable, Flexible Software Integration:
    Supporting dynamic driving task (DDT) execution across multiple operational design domains (ODDs) within real-time constraints.
  • Failure Degradation Strategies:
    Ensuring safe fallback operation or minimal risk maneuvering in the event of performance-relevant system failures.
  • Highest Functional Safety Requirements:
    Achieving ASIL-D compliance per ISO 26262 where driver fallback is not assumed.
  • Integration into Modern Architectures:
    Seamless embedding into domain, zonal, or central vehicle architectures – with support for OTA updates and system orchestration.
