In the automotive industry, one can observe an impressing increase of electronics presence which is reflected in the presence of Electronic Control Units (ECU) and the communication protocols that connect these. Furthermore, the introduction of large numbers of sensors to provide driver assistance applications and the associated high-bandwidth requirements of these sensors have accelerated the demand for faster and more flexible network communication technologies within the vehicle. One of the latest technologies to overcome this issue is CAN-FD, a new release of the well-known communication protocol CAN. The latter was invented and commercialized by Bosch GmbH in 1982, while CAN-FD was released in 2012.
