Abstract
Various systems and methods for establishing the management and functions of a software-defined vehicle platform are disclosed. An example technique for configuring power usage and management includes: evaluating data that enumerates characteristics of multiple vehicle electronic control units (ECUs) of the vehicle; determining power usage characteristics of the ECUs, such as power requirements and available power states of the ECUs; determining a power usage policy to apply in the vehicle, based on the power usage characteristics of the ECUs and operational conditions of the vehicle; and generating control signals to change power states used by the ECUs, based on the determined power usage policy (e.g., a power usage policy that includes restrictions for the vehicle and the various ECUs).
