In addition, the technical features of the different embodiments of the present application described below may be combined with each other as long as they do not collide with each other.

As shown in fig. 1, controllers in the vehicle, such as an intelligent cabin controller (Cockpit Domain Controller, CDC), a vehicle control domain controller (Vehicle Domain Controller, VDC), an intelligent driving domain controller (adas\ AD Domain Controller, ADC), and the like, may be disposed behind the armrest box 203, and a sub-dashboard, an air outlet, and an air-conditioning duct 204 may also be disposed behind the armrest box. As the intelligent level of the vehicle is higher, the volume of the controller is larger, the space behind the instrument panel is limited, and the arrangement space is insufficient.

In one possible implementation, the controller may be fixed to the mounting bracket. As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the mounting brackets may be a handrail box mounting bracket 200 and a controller mounting bracket 201, and in consideration of the possible conflict between the positions of the mounting brackets of the CDC202 and the central handrail box mounting bracket after mounting, the CDC and the central handrail box bracket may have the problems of insufficient space and position interference.
