In the past year, much has changed in the world of vehicle-infrastructure integration, and these changes point toward greater connectivity for more applications. Arguably, the connected vehicle has surpassed vehicle-infrastructure integration as the focus of both public- and private-sector activities. Full-fledged efforts are underway now to provide this connectivity through multiple communication channels—more than just DSRC—and for multiple purposes; safety is still important, but so are mobility and commercial applications. Furthermore, even leading automakers have recognized the transition to pervasive, fully-embedded communication solutions on all new vehicles is still in the future and therefore aftermarket suppliers and consumer electronic companies have an important role to play in maximizing the safety, mobility, and commercial promises of connected vehicles.
This session delves into the implications of this year of transition and looks forward to the further evolution of connected-vehicle technology. Session speakers will be drawn from leaders in the connected-vehicle field including automotive OEMs, public-sector transportation agencies, telecommunications companies, aftermarket equipment suppliers, consumer electronics companies, and others.
