A few years ago vehicles were being designed with multiple proprietary data networks as OEMs reused designs and connectors from years past. But with the increasing need to cut production costs, reduce design time, and limit the variety of parts supplied, every OEM is making a concerted effort to adopt networking standards in place of their older legacy designs.
