The sole motive of an AUTOSAR is the replacement of the proprietary standards of the software system functions, into an open standard. This helps in building a plug-and-play atmosphere where the software modules can go hand in hand with the electronic architecture at the same time. This creates an open standard for automotive E/E architecture. This in turn will help in having a standardized tool chain that can become the fundamental building block for management functions for both the future applications and standard software modules.

AUTOSAR
Abstract
AUTOSAR(Automotive Open System Architecture) The idea behind AUTOSAR is to create an open standard for fundamental software system functions that replaces proprietary standards. This creates a plug-and-play environment where software modules slot into the overall electronic architecture without unexpectedly disrupting others The objective of the partnership is the establishment of an open standard for automotive E/E architecture. It will serve as a basic infrastructure for the management of functions within both future applications and standard software modules. The goal is to have a standardized tool chain that will guide and assist the design engineer through the complete process.

ABSTRACT
The current automotive electric/ electronic (E/E) architecture landscape is characterized by proprietary solutions, which seldom allow the exchange of applications between both automotive OEMs and their suppliers. It is apparent that on the basis of a continued exponential growth in functional scope, further proliferation of propriety solutions will consume more and more resources and may become difficult to control.
