How BASE-AU Enables High-Speed Optical Camera Links in Next-Generation Vehicles - Blog
March 05, 2026The transition toward centralized and zonal vehicle architectures is placing new demands on how camera data is transported inside the vehicle. High-resolution optical cameras generate continuous multigigabit data streams that must be delivered reliably to domain controllers and central compute units. Existing in-vehicle network technologies, originally designed for lower data rates, are increasingly becoming a bottleneck.
This is where BASE-AU, the automotive-grade optical Ethernet standard defined under IEEE 802.3cz, comes into play.
