The use of electronics in vehicles is increasing quickly and the systems are becoming increasingly complex. This makes the engineering of these advanced computer-based systems more and more difﬁcult. In particular, ﬁnding a good architecture is a prerequisite for successful design. In this study we investigate key issues related to real-world decisions regarding a car’s electrical and electronic system architecture. To extract the key issues an exploratory case study was performed at a car manufacturer. We used semiformal interviews complemented with a survey to validate the results. The contribution of this paper is twelve issues that reﬂect the situation at a car manufacturer. Also, possible actions to deal with these issues are provided.
