1. A system for implementing an automobile electronic control function of an automobile, wherein the system comprises:
an automobile control unit configured to provide an electronic control function for a first automobile part in a first functional domain, wherein the automobile control unit comprises a first domain controller (DC) of the first functional domain or a central computing platform; and
a plurality of vehicle integration units (VIUs) comprising a first VIU, wherein the plurality of VIUs form a ring communications network, or the plurality of VIUs are in communication connection with the automobile control unit, wherein the first VIU connects with the automobile control unit and the first automobile part in the first functional domain, wherein the electronic control function comprises a control function and a data processing function,
wherein for the control function, the automobile control unit is configured to send first control information to the first VIU, and the first VIU is configured to receive the first control information and control the first automobile part to perform a first operation based on the first control information,
wherein for the data processing function, the automobile control unit is configured to process data of the first automobile part, and the first VIU is configured to serve as a gateway to send processed data to the first automobile part or receive the data of the first automobile part and send the data of the first automobile part to the automobile control unit for processing,
wherein the automobile control unit comprises a second DC of a second functional domain, and the system comprises the first automobile part and further comprises a second automobile part that is in the second functional domain for performing a second operation, wherein the second operation is different from the first operation,
wherein the plurality of VIUs comprises a second VIU, wherein the second VIU connects the second DC with the second automobile part,
wherein the second DC is configured to send second control information to the second VIU, wherein the second VIU is configured to receive the second control information and control the second automobile part to perform the second operation based on the second control information, and
wherein the first VIU is further configured to:
receive, when the second VIU fails, the second control information for controlling the second automobile part; and
control the second automobile part based on the second control information.
