"Modern cars typically have more than 100 electronic control units (ECU) connected via different in-vehicle bus networks. These buses are used to exchange information and coordinate control. Autonomous driving technology creates a demand for much higher data rate traffic within in-vehicle communication systems. Today, we are talking about 100/1000BASE-T1. Tomorrow, it will be multi-gig speeds. To verify the functionality and quality of these data streams, automotive engineers need to be able to search for specific signals, trigger, decode, measure crosstalk and perform compliance testing."
