New Mobility Services and How They Will Be Affected by the Connectivity

Abstract

Today, the automotive sector is under a huge transformation in the use cases and services due to two main vectors: automated driving and connectivity. Cars enter into the world of the Internet of Things to offer new experiences. The connected car has become an enhancer for some already existing use cases, an enabler for use cases that today have technical limitations and an opportunity for others where the automotive sector was not participating. There are huge expectations on 5G to bring up new opportunities thanks to the vertical approach taken this time, completely different from the previous mobile generation networks. The automotive is considered as one of the key verticals. The new paradigm for the Intelligent & Connected Vehicle is based on: Intelligent comes from being able to understand the needs of the driver and passengers thanks to a personal assistant which will be mainly in the cloud.Intelligent considered as automated driving, meaning that the vehicle will be able to take the control under different circumstances according to the SAE levels.Connected indicating the capability of getting information from outside the vehicle to complete the environment perception and to enhance some of the services provided to drivers and passengers. Some of the key technology enablers, which can modify the use cases and the business models, will be exposed.
