BMW is an innovation leader in the car industry in many respects. To be at the forefront always meant that BMW was an early adopter for new communication technologies and has driven many respective standardization projects (e.g. MOST, FlexRay, Ethernet); the latest of which addresses Automotive SerDes. Continental, as one of the largest Tier 1 suppliers, works at the forefront of automotive sensor development and has, by definition, an excellent overview on the different communication and SerDes technologies used in the industry.
Kirsten Matheus joined BMW in 2009, and is responsible for the timely availability of standardized communication technologies within BMW. In this role she established “Automotive Ethernet” as an in-car networking technology within the automotive industry. The respective book, which she co-authored with Thomas Königseder on the topic, is well known in the industry. Her responsibilities today comprise the project lead for and standardization of Automotive SerDes.
Michael Kaindl joined BMW in 1990, and has worked with in-vehicle communication technologies ever since. He started with the first UART-based communication technologies, worked on all major networking technologies such as LIN, CAN, FlexRay, and Ethernet. Today, he is responsible for the physical layer of the high speed communication technologies Ethernet and SerDes within BMW.
