HERE and automotive industry leaders taking next steps to drive global standard for in-vehicle data
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Berlin, Germany and Auburn Hills, Michigan - HERE, a leader in mapping,
navigation and location experiences, along with participants from a dozen
companies from the automotive industry assembled yesterday in Auburn Hills,
Michigan to continue their joint efforts to drive a global standard for how in-
vehicle sensor data is transmitted to a location cloud. The aim of this effort
is to accelerate the development of automated driving and to ensure that the
results are available globally. Any interested party can find out more and join
here.
The range of participants, which included representatives from Fiat Chrysler
Automobiles, Ford Motor Company, General Motors Company, INRIX, Robert Bosch
GmbH and TomTom, demonstrates the importance of collaboration to further the
technological aspirations of the industry.
The event follows a successful initial gathering in Berlin this summer where 16
automotive, companies, system vendors and suppliers met to kick off a discussion
about establishing an interface that defines how sensor data gathered by
vehicles on the road can be ingested by the cloud. As cars become connected to
the Internet they will generate tremendous amounts of data. The ability to share
this data across all car makers globally, while protecting driver privacy, is
essential to making automated driving a reality.
With a standard format for this data, modern vehicles can more easily transmit
to the cloud information about road conditions in real-time to improve safety
for drivers. The data generated would be analogous regardless of vehicle
manufacturer and could be pooled, processed and analyzed quickly to create a
detailed live view of traffic conditions.
"Connectivity is transforming the automotive industry and soon cars will
generate tremendous amounts of data that can be used to reduce the number of
accidents and congestion on the roads," said Ogi Redzic, Senior Vice President
of Automotive at HERE. "An accident free future becomes more likely when as many
industry players as possible around the world can work together to help cars get
the full picture of the road ahead."
At the Auburn Hills event participants discussed technical issues such as data
content, security, anonymization, technical accuracy and efficiency. In addition
participants addressed how best to hand over the specification to a neutral
standards body to ensure cooperation among all industry players globally. HERE
has already had initial discussions with two leading standards organizations on
the swift handover of the initial proposed specification, which has been made
available through a creative commons license.
"Our goal is to find a home for this specification that is open, accessible to
all members and non-members and global," said Redzic.
"This data-focused initiative intended to enhance driving safety extends beyond
the collection, interpretation and integration of data to the very process of
collaboration that is redefining the purpose of vehicle connectivity," said
Roger Lanctot, Associate Director, Strategy Analytics. "In the brave new
connected world facing the industry, car companies will for the first time begin
to share data for the greater collective good."
On November 4, HERE will gather automotive companies from across Asia at an
event in Tokyo to further drive industry collaboration.
