Abstract: In recent years, the adoption of reproducible, easily deployable container technology has grown across a variety of sectors. Containers ensure that each service runs in an independent environment because they provide a consistent execution environment, are easy to scale, and allow for efficient versioning and deployment. In a Software Defined Vehicle (SDV), each service must not interfere with the others and must be able to be updated independently. Due to these challenges, ease of scalability, efficient versioning and deployment are important research topics. In this paper, we analyze the applicability of container technology to ROS2-based automotive architectures for autonomous driving systems.
