Method and system for automotive data ingestion

A computing device for providing vehicle data to a client, the computing device comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a communications subsystem, wherein the computing device is configured to:
• receive, from an entity of a plurality of different entities, a data object at an ingestor block at the computing device, the ingestor block comprising a plurality of ingestor instances, each of the ingestor instances being tailored to receive data from only one entity of the plurality of different entities;
• convert the data object to a frame using a selected ingestor instance from the plurality of ingestor instances;
• provide the frame to a translation stack at the computing device to convert the frame into a normalized message;
• and
• provide the normalized message to the client;
• wherein the different entities have at least one of:
• different operating systems, different bus structures, or different hardware configurations.

A non-transitory computer readable medium for storing instruction code, which, when executed by a processor of a computing device configured for providing vehicle data to a client, cause the computing device to:

• receive, from an entity of a plurality of different entities, a data object at an ingestor block at the computing device, the ingestor block comprising a plurality of ingestor instances, each of the ingestor instances being tailored to receive data from only one entity of the plurality of different entities;
• convert the data object to a frame using a selected ingestor instance from the plurality of ingestor instances;
• provide the frame to a translation stack at the computing device to convert the frame into a normalized message;
• and
• provide the normalized message to the client;
• wherein the different entities have at least one of:
• different operating systems, different bus structures, or different hardware configurations.
