1. An in-vehicle compute system, comprising:
a data gateway having a scalable central processing unit to increase or decrease a processing power of the processing unit, a power supply, a power management circuit, data routing capability, one or more scalable interfaces to modify a number and a type of interface for data routing, one or more scalable interfaces to modify a number and type of interface for sensor inputs, one or more scalable interfaces to modify a number and type of interface for actuator outputs, and an interface to a controller area network (CAN) on the vehicle; and
a first compute extension connected to the data gateway, the first compute extension has a scalable microcontroller to increase or decrease a processing power of the microcontroller, a power management integrated circuit, and one or more scalable interfaces to modify a number and type of interface for actuator outputs.
