1. A system for implementing an automobile electronic control function, the system comprising:
a first automobile part having a first electronic control unit (ECU);
a second automobile part different from the first automobile part, the second automobile part having a second ECU different from the first ECU;
a third automobile part different from the first automobile part and different from the second automobile part, the third automobile part having a third ECU different from the first ECU and different from the second ECU;
a first vehicle integration unit (VIU) comprising a first processor, the first VIU being communicatively coupled with the first automobile part and the second automobile part;
a second VIU different from the first VIU, the second VIU comprising a second processor different from the first processor, the second VIU being communicatively coupled with the third automobile part and free from being directly communicatively coupled with the first automobile part and the second automobile part;
a first domain controller (DC) communicatively coupled with the first VIU;
a second DC different from the first DC, the second DC being communicatively coupled with the first VIU and free from direct communication with the first DC;
a third DC communicatively coupled with the second VIU, the third DC being free from direct communication with the first DC, the second DC and the first VIU; and
a central computing platform (CCP) communicatively coupled with the first DC, the second DC and the third DC, the CCP being free from direct communication with the first VIU, and the second VIU,
wherein
the first VIU is configured to perform a first electronic control function for the first automobile part and a second electronic control function for the second automobile part,
the first ECU is configured to perform a third electronic control function for the first automobile part,
the second ECU is configured to perform a fourth electronic control function for the second automobile part,
the second VIU is configured to perform a fifth electronic control function for the third automobile part,
the third ECU is configured to perform a sixth electronic control function for the third automobile part,
the third electronic control function is part of all control functions of the first automobile part,
the fourth electronic control function is a part of all control functions of the second automobile part,
the sixth electronic control function is a part of all control functions of the third automobile part,
the first VIU is configured to perform the first electronic control function for the first automobile part in response to first control information from the first DC,
the first VIU is configured to perform the second electronic control function for the second automobile part in response to second control information from the second DC,
the second VIU is configured to perform the fifth electronic control function for the third automobile part in response to third control information from the third DC,
the first DC is configured to cause the first VIU to perform the first electronic control function for the first automobile part in response to receiving the first control information from the CCP,
the second DC is configured to cause the first VIU to perform the second electronic control function for the second automobile part in response to receiving the second control information from the CCP, and
the third DC is configured to cause the second VIU to perform the fifth electronic control function for the third automobile part in response to receiving the third control information from the CCP.
