  (PC : blogs.sw.siemens.com) Electrification, autonomous driving, and cloud connectivity – these are just a few of the major trends that are having a significant impact on the way automobiles design and manufactured today. By 2025, it’s estimated that plug-in electric cars will comprise 23% of new passenger vehicle sales globally, and about 75% will be fully electric. But that’s not all that’s changing. McKinsey projects that up to 15% of new cars sold in 2030 could be fully autonomous – and that will require seamless Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication over cellular and dedicated short-range communication (DSRC) networks, as well as cloud connectivity for real-time data transfer. All of these requirements drive up complexity and cost. As a result, network communication architectures are evolving to provide scale and efficiency, along with additional processing power and performance.  However, even as networking architectures evolve, traditional protocols are still central to t
