This presentation will explore the presenter's experience with hardware integration in autonomous vehicle development aiming for scalabilty, focusing on the Common Architecture and Shared Technology (CAST) framework. It will discuss the unique challenges posed by long lead times for brackets and wiring harnesses in a rapidly evolving development environment and share challenges experienced during the integration process, such as handling the lack of requirements due to new technology, ensuring seamless, scalable integration of hardware components, stable interfaces and particularities of sensor and computing components.

• Scalable hardware integration in autonomous vehicles
• Insights into the CAST framework
• Managing long lead times for critical components in a software-centric environment
• Addressing new aspects in automotive hardware development due to autonomous transportation
