Abstract
A vehicle controller can include a hypervisor for controlling a power state of the vehicle controller, the vehicle controller comprising at least two virtual machines hosted on the vehicle controller. The hypervisor is configured to: receive an active status indication from at least one virtual machine; determine, in dependence on the active status indication, if at least one virtual machine is active; and inhibit a reduced power state of the vehicle controller if the hypervisor determines that at least one virtual machine is active.
