This document discusses the challenges of over-the-air (OTA) updates for connected cars. It notes that while OTA updates are common for mobile devices, they are more complex for cars which have over 100 electronic control units (ECUs) from multiple vendors and evolving software. An OTA platform is proposed to intelligently manage updates across this heterogeneous environment through features like adaptive delta compression, a message bus, and support for various vehicle networks and file formats. The platform aims to standardize OTA updates for cars in a way that is scalable, secure, and handles the large sizes and dependencies between vehicle software components.
