Superbrain will drive all Audi models

All future Audi models will receive a new electronic architecture that will integrate the main components of the car into a common network. The technology is called Integrated Vehicle Dynamics Computer and will become a single control center for all components - from the gearbox to the driver's assistants.

Theoretically, this seems quite complicated, but the company is adamant that the introduction of a single electronic platform is done with the exact opposite goal - to simplify and facilitate the work of the driver as much as possible. The new “superbrain”, as Audi calls it, is 10 times more powerful than currently used data processing tools and will be able to control up to 90 different on-board systems, depending on the situation.

The electronic platform itself is universal, allowing it to be integrated into all Audi models, from the compact A3 to the flagship Q8 crossover and the electric e-tron family. On electric vehicles, the superbrain, for example, could improve the efficiency of the recuperation system, which provides about 30% of the battery's energy reserve.
In the RS models, a new electronic platform will control the systems responsible for dynamics and control. For the first time in the history of Audi technology, chassis and transmission control components have been combined into one unit.

When exactly the transition to the Integrated Vehicle Dynamics computer will take place has not yet been specified, but Audi says the platform is ready for mass production, so it can be integrated into the brand's models very soon.
