Abstract
A vehicle control system includes a plurality of slave ECUs, and a core ECU including a gateway function for relaying data communication among the plurality of slave ECUs and between the plurality of slave ECUs and an external apparatus. The vehicle control system accepts operation requests from a plurality of systems that makes a request for an operation to an operating unit equipped in a vehicle and performing an operation based on an operation request. The operation requests from the plurality of systems include at least a request from the external apparatus or a request from a function added to the core ECU by the external apparatus. When operation requests from the plurality of systems are accepted, the core ECU performs arbitration for the operation requests from the plurality of systems and transmits an arbitration result to at least one of the plurality of slave ECUs.
