BMW already uses AUTOSAR

I found an interesting article by mistake when checking if this blog would come up in a google search (no, it didn't).
The article is two years old, but I found it worthwhile to read anyway.
Anyway, the article Managing for software success is availible on the web, but unfortunately not through the Automotive Engineering International magazine's web site.

But on the I found another interesting article in the same magazine claiming that the new BMW 7-series already have two ECUs where "ECU software was developed using AUTOSAR". The article is based on an interview with well-known researcher on automotive software Dr. Manfred Broy.

Too bad that neither of these articles have gone through scientific peer review. It makes it so much easier if I wanted to have references to them in my research. But for a blog that really doesn't matter...
