"Electrification is indispensable for autonomous vehicles," says Puneet Sinha, in a recent Siemens blog, offered here in audio. Among the topics Puneet addresses: how to compensate for range reduction associated autonomous functionality; how the convergence of autonomy and electrification affects the electrical distribution system; and why virtual testing, validation, and verification will loom larger in the years ahead. Make sure to check out Puneet's post, as well, for twin photos (courtesy Navigant's Sam Abuelsamid) comparing the low-voltage wiring harness of a production Chevy Bolt with that of autonomous Chevy Bolt test vehicle. The added complexity and weight is clear at a glance.
