The vehicle of the future: main trends of change in the automotive sector The mobility and the automotive industries are evolving following four main trends that will define how the vehicle of the future will be: The vehicle is undertaking Fossil fuel-based propulsion tasks of driving and the driver is being replaced by electrical is becoming an observer and, components. at higher levels of automation, a passenger. Automated Electric Mobility and car sharing The vehicle exchanges data services offer new solutions, with the infrastructure and other changing vehicle ownership vehicles. patterns.

The Connected Vehicle in Catalonia| Technology report May 2019 | 6 1. Key concepts What are connected vehicles? Connected vehicles are vehicles equipped with technologies that allow them to send and receive information. Such technologies are known as cooperative intelligent transport systems (C-ITS). C-ITS uses technologies that enable vehicles to communicate with each other, with traffic signals and other infrastructure elements, and with other road users. These are also known as vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) and vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P) systems. What are they used for? Adding connectivity to a vehicle enables a wide range of features. These functions are highly relevant since they give vehicles a considerable level of autonomy. Accordingly, the connected vehicle and the autonomous vehicle are not the same concept, but go hand in hand. In fact, the connected vehicle represents an early stage of the autonomous vehicle. Thus, the connected vehicle has Internet access (Internet of things - IoT) and a range of sensors, and can send and receive signals, perceive the surroundings and interact with other vehicles and entities. Why are they important? Connected vehicles represent one of the key trends in the automotive industry. Global sales of connected vehicles are expected to hit 72.5 million units in 2023, which would represent an increase of 200% compared to the 24 million units sold in 2015. This means that in five years, almost 69% of the vehicles sold will be capable of exchanging information with external entities, thereby giving rise to new services and business models.

The Connected Vehicle is an hybridization of technologies: The connected vehicle includes mainly the following technologies: Artificial intelligence AI software and devices integrated in the vehicle to improve and automate driving. Big Data The connected vehicle will collect information from the driver via devices and applications to adapt the driving and service to the habits Connectivity and needs of the user. This information will Through connectivity the vehicle can interact be integrated in the cloud and could be with the infrastructure, other vehicles, mobile processed by third party companies. devices and objects, pedestrians, and the cloud (V2V, V2I, V2X, V2P, V2C). Cybersecurity Internet of Things (IoT) The connected vehicle's connectivity and the Thanks to the IoT, the vehicle will be able to IoT will improve its performance. It will have connect to IoT devices in the vicinity and to be fitted with the necessary software and interact, as well as access the Internet. devices to address potential cyber attacks that could endanger the driver, alter the normal operation of the vehicle or get access to private personal data.

Interaction with the environment The connectivity of the vehicle will allow it to interact in three diferent ways: with other vehicles in its surroundings (vehicle to vehicle; V2V), with the infrastructure (vehicle to infrastructure; V2I) , and with persons (vehicle to persons; V2P). V2V: for instance, the vehicle can detect near cars or those approaching and inform the driver, even if the latter cannot see those due to the vehicle blind spots; the vehicle keeps a prudent distance towards the vehicles in its surroundings thanks to sensors it has incorporated, and can keep the drive on the track in the cruise mode; vehicle fleets and logistic convoys coordinated which keep a constant distance between them in the cruise mode; emergency braking system in case of collision; etc. V2I: for example, the vehicle has access to the data cloud from the road network through the Internet of Things and the rest of connectivity capacities, this allows it to gather information about the state of traffic, less congested routes, available parking areas and their characteristics (loading and unloading zone, limited parking zones, blue zones, etc.), traffic signs, the state of traffic lights, etc. V2P: for instance, the vehicle can exchange information with the pedestrians and the rest of persons in the surroundings through mobile devices and its own connectivity; the driver can lock and unlock the vehicle with the mobile phone, can pay the parking areas and road tolls from the vehicle; the vehicle can detect pedestrians crossing the road and activate the emergency braking system to avoid; the driver can incorporate already scheduled routes in the vehicle’s navigator; vehicle geolocation via mobile phone; etc. Source: EIC (DGI-ACCIÓ) based on Everis and The Internet of Things and Connected cars, Hewlett Packard Enterprise.
