I'm not in the car industry. But I spec mixed analog/digital parts and so see a lot of ads and press releases for automotive parts. I'm seeing increasing offerings of two pair Power over Ethernet controllers, cables, and connectors. That makes me think that as companies retire legacy gas/diesel products they'll probably switch to an automotive PoE standard. Allows you to to power the window lift regulator, door locks, and read the switches off a single 20 gauge cable. Weld a fully assembled door assembly to the body and than plug in a single cable. What's not to like?
