Even today Ethernet plays a key role in the automotive industry, since it is already used for OBD (on-board diagnostics) and uploading of software packages to vehicles. This particular communications protocol offers major benefits over conventional CAN bus systems on account of its speed. A vehicle can be re-programmed in minutes instead of hours. This results in much lower general costs for vehicle manufacturers.
