Summary

Software-defined vehicles (SDVs) with centralized compute promise safer, smarter ADAS via scalable sensor fusion and over-the-air updates. This paper tests that premise through an evidence-driven case study: development of a low-cost 360° near-field subsystem based on modular time-of-flight (ToF) sensor arrays, including tooling, data acquisition, and free-space/no-collision representations, validated in lab and vehicle experiments using conservative percentile-based confidence bounds. Results clarify the boundary between integration challenges and sensor physics: centralized/zonal architectures enable scalable integration, deterministic timing, and upgradeability, but cannot compensate optical link-budget limits. We discuss implications for ISO 21448 (SOTIF), ISO/PAS 8800, latency, and cybersecurity.
