Abstract
We describe details of a technology under development that allows selective deactivation of electronic control units in automotive networks as a means to increase a vehicle´s energy efficiency: intelligent communication controllers. In particular, we provide details on an ICC´s estimated energy savings potential, prove by experiment that ICCs are unique enablers for deactivation of FlexRay ECUs, and describe a prototypical implementation.
