  As vehicles get equipped with increasingly complex sensors and processors,
the communication requirements become more demanding. Traditionally, vehicles
have used specialized networking technologies designed to guarantee bounded
latencies, such as the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus. Recently, some have
used dedicated technologies to transport signals from cameras, lidars, radars,
and ultrasonic sensors. In parallel, IEEE working groups are defining Ethernet
standards for time-sensitive networks (TSN). This paper describes an
Ethernet-based architecture with provable guaranteed performance and simple
configuration that is suitable for supporting the communication requirements of
many vehicles.
