How is Automotive Ethernet used in modern vehicles?

Automotive Ethernet provides high bandwidth (100 Mbps - 10 Gbps) for data-intensive applications. Uses include: Infotainment data streaming, camera and radar data for ADAS (uncompressed video requires 1+ Gbps), diagnostic data download, software update distribution, and backbone networking replacing multiple CAN buses. Technologies include BroadR-Reach (100BASE-T1) for single pair transmission, 100/1000BASE-T1, and TSN (Time-Sensitive Networking) for deterministic real-time communication. Automotive Ethernet uses standard IP protocols enabling use of existing software tools.
