## Summary

Alison Chaiken, an embedded systems expert at Mentor Graphics, discusses the transition of the automotive industry into a 'rolling data center' with up to 100 microprocessors per vehicle. She explains the shift from proprietary, hand-crafted code to open standards like AUTOSAR and Linux, highlighting the critical role of hypervisors in isolating safety-critical functions from infotainment systems. Chaiken also covers the complexities of automotive networking protocols like CAN and Ethernet AVB, the rigorous ISO 26262 safety certification landscape, and the emerging opportunities in connected cars and autonomous driving technologies.
