How Connectivity enables new Experience & Business

The trend in automotive electronics goes clearly towards service-oriented E&E-Architectures. Classical or flat partitioning using huge number of ECUs is past. Autonomous and Electric Vehicles need different approaches that support both high bandwidth in-vehicle communication, but also wireless connectivity to remote Edge and Cloud services. 5G is a big enabler, but not the only one. It’s also important how the E&E-Architectures within the vehicles evolve. However, is this all really an evolution? Or is it maybe more a revolution that is ahead of us? Service oriented solutions for all kinds of connectivity need to support safe operation of the car as well as innovative business models for OEMs and 3rd parties. The combination of highest reliability and highest flexibility is a real stretch goal for all stakeholders. How can this be achieved? What is the role of Connectivity, beside of classical Telematics? This session builds a bridge from user requirements over business opportunities to technology outlooks of future Connected Autonomous / Electric Cars.
