I believe manufacturers are starting to switch to automotive Ethernet.


They are including Eth, not switching to it completely. They will keep the CAN buss there as long as it makes sense. Instrument clusters with graphical display output do use the Eth more and more because the amount of data beats the capacity of a CAN bus by far, but devices without big data transfer needs will stay on CAN. For example, what need is ther for Eth for an electronic gear lever? Not much data being exchanged.
