Vehicles have a special place in our lives. After all, the

style, color, brand and even the size of our automobiles

reflect something about us personally -- just like the

shoes we wear. More than simply getting us frompoint a to point b, our cars shape our experiences,

too. Whether we prefer the throaty growl of a manual

shift sports car on a mountain road, the spacious

sport utility with room for kids and a dog or even the

ultra convenient and elegant UberBlack service, each

of us rides around in a symbol that tells the world

a little bit about who we are. Perhaps that’s a major

reason for the dramatic growth around technology in

the automotive industry. We demand more from our

autos. And as millions of families head out on that

summer road trip, the car becomes a temporary livingspace -- it may as well be intelligent and connected,

too.

Large technology companies and auto companies

alike appear to agree. After all, Google has developed

a prototype of its own self-driving car last year and

even Tesla already has production vehicles with

impressive driver-assisting features. When you learn

about the exciting technology finding its way into our

vehicles, our cars start to resemble rolling smartphone

platforms on steroids.

So, as our cars become increasingly high-tech, the

companies that design and build them are having

to change, too. Because much of the technology

finding its way into our vehicles is coming frominnovative companies outside the auto industry,

partnerships between car manufacturers and

technology manufacturers that know how to build

robust communication systems is crucial. Strategic

partnerships bring communications technologies,

information systems and safety devices to new vehicles.

These partnerships promise to redefine not just how

cars are used but also the relationship between a

car and its driver. Ultimately, today’s connected car

technology will pave the way for tomorrow’s fully

autonomous vehicles.

Will Your Next Mechanic Be aSoftware Engineer?

Incredible technologies are

already culminating to create

intuitive driving experiences

that are safer, quicker and more

connected to our world in ways we

could have scarcely imagined a decadeago. It all starts with connectivity.

Wireless connectivity in automobiles isn’t

new. Many vehicles already have built-in

cellular hardware. The best example is General

Motors’ built-in wireless OnStar service, which,

through sensors, automatically detects things like

when your car has been in an accident. The OnStar

system then uses the wireless connection to contact the

car and check on the status of the driver.

In other words, technologies required to make our cars super

connected in interesting ways are either already in use or under

development now, promising seamless communications

between other cars and even other machines. Right now,

many newer vehicles use software-controlled Electronic

Control Units (ECUs) to power everything from dashboard

instruments to safety features to powertrain components

to in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) systems, making them more

dependent on or even controlled by software and sensors

than ever before.

As vehicles rely upon an increasing number of ECUs, software

innovations in the auto industry are becoming as critical as

hardware innovation, accelerating the pace of product and

feature changes. As a result, vehicle updates that can take

advantage of a software iteration cycle measured in months

rather than a hardware cycle measured in years offers clear

advantages to consumers.

The Cloud and the Future of Auto Maintenance

Tesla understands the importance of software updates. In 2014, Tesla owners received enhancements via a software update sent

directly from Tesla to the car. What’s more, this wasn’t the first time Tesla has used such updates to enhance the performance of

its cars. Previously, Tesla remotely shared software updates to improve suspension settings.

And Tesla is just the beginning. Egil Juliussen, director of research for automotive electronic technology for IHS Automotive

notes that about 30,000 vehicles have been

updated over the air in 2014. In 2015, over-

the-air software upgrades will expand to

230,000 and reach one million in 2016.

By 2020, about 22 million new vehicles

globally will accept software upgrades over-

the-air.

Nevertheless, over the air updates for our

vehicles tell just part of the story around how

cloud services are reshaping the automobile

industry. Already, our cars are the third

fastest growing connected devices and it is

estimated that by 2020, 90 percent of cars

will be connected to the Internet. So, our

cars (and car manufacturers) will become

more like smartphones and smartphone

companies.

Connected car technologies will build the foundation for an eventualself-driving car. It all starts with wireless communications.

Securing the Connected CarEcosystem

For this reason, one of the

major considerations for

continued growth within

the connected car market lies

with securing critical automobile

communication systems.

Perhaps that is why several important

initiatives spearheaded by large technology

companies include robust standards that

promise greater security for our connected car

communications.

Recently, researchers demonstrated a real-time remote

car hacking of a Jeep SUV as it was being driven by a

Wired reporter. The researchers were able to remotely

access and control the vehicle’s air-conditioning, radio, andwindshield wipers and eventually the accelerator, brakes

and even the steering wheel by exploiting commands sent

through the Jeep’s entertainment system.

The U.S. Congress is so concerned that it is proposing the

“SPY Car Act” that would instruct the National Highway

Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Federal Trade

Commission (FTC) to establish federal standards of protection

for vehicles and drivers’ data.

But in the mean time, there are initiatives underway bymajor technology companies to develop standards and best

practices that could significantly improve vehicle security.

Standardardized, secure communication networks just for cars? TheIEEE 802.11p is a promising solution.

In fact, the European Union is planning a smart corridor based on 802.11p with LTE integration between the

Netherlands and Austria. As an international standard vehicular communication system designed specifically

for connections between high-speed vehicles, IEEE 802.11p could outline the dedicated Wi-Fi standard

supporting all future Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) around the world. In fact, IEEE proposes a

family of standards for vehicular networks called WAVE (Wireless Access in the Vehicular Environment)

With robust standards in place, buses, taxis, emergency vehicles and utility fleets responding

to an emergency could “talk” to each other quickly and efficiently. In the event of a majo

disaster, chemical sensors, cameras and 3D imaging equipment attached to these vehicles

might literally create composite images and maps of the situation in real-time, combining

image and sensor data in novel ways.

And other large initiatives could move vehicle-to-vehicle communications forward,

too.

Known as the Open Interconnect Consortium (OIC) and founded by Cisco,Dell, Intel and other chip makers and technology device companies, the

OIC promotes interoperability between Internet of Things (IoT) devices

including our vehicles. The consortium aims to deliver specifications fo

standardized data flow between “things,” for any operating system

over Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ZigBee and NFC (near-field communication) fo

any device and intelligently manages the communication between

devices, regardless of form factor or operating system.

Another large consortium, AllSeen, is also working toward

building open standards around the IoT. With companies

like Microsoft, LG, Panasonic and Qualcomm asmembers, one of AllSeen’s focuses is smart cars. A non-

profit organization in collaboration with the Linux

Foundation, AllSeen promotes the widespread

adoption of products, systems and services that

support an open Internet of Everything.

The benefit? Car-to-car connections wil

become so secure, they’ll eventually riva

any secure Internet connection on the

planet. With that, cars will go beyond

connecting to each other. They’lconnect to fueling stations to

pay your bill at the pump and

even to the cash register as

you place your order at the

drive-thru.

Leveraging Demand for BetterTelematics and Infotainment

If the Tesla brand is any

indication, the connected car

promises to be way cooler than

a smartphone because, what

would have sounded like sci-fi a few

years ago, is in production today. TheTesla 85D is a semi-autonomous vehicle

that uses sonar and cameras to make lane

changes, read road signs and even brake

automatically in autopilot mode. Inside the

85D, the technology is just as impressive. Tesla’s

infotainment system looks more like a giant media

tablet than a dashboard, offering a 17-inch touch

screen and the same computing power as the latest

smartphone.

So, as you may have guessed, the fact that this car can travel295 miles on a single charge is likely not its biggest selling point.

And there’s so much more. The Model S monitors traffic before you even start your weekday commute and alerts you with a

pop-up message on the 17-inch touchscreen when a faster route is available. A Tesla will even let you give it a nickname. Maybe

best of all, in Asia, consumers can purchase a Tesla vehicle through the social media app, WeChat.

Tesla is just one example of a growing trend. According to a PwC report, just a decade ago, the cost of electronics and software

in autos was less than 20 percent of the total cost of a vehicle. Today, it approaches 35 percent. Additionally, electronics systems

contribute more than 90 percent of innovations and new features to new vehicles. However, a Consumer Reports survey

found consumers reported infotainment systems as the most troublesome feature in 2014 vehicles. As a result, manufacturer

that partner with technology companies already innovating around connected communication systems stand to powerfully

differentiate their product and deliver superior systems.

And just as our phones are now tracking various health metrics, sensors embedded in our steering wheels, seats and foot pedals

may someday monitor things like our galvanic skin resistance, CO2 levels, electrocardiogram and skin temperature to alert us to

drowsiness, high blood pressure and stress levels that might impact our driving ability.

These Aren’t Your Father’sHeadlights

Until fairly recently,

there haven’t been many

disruptive changes in headlight

technology. But as with all of the

other advances around the Internet

of Things, headlights now featuresophisticated camera, sensor and motor

systems that make predecessors seem

really primitive.

BMW has always had a reputation for building

fun to drive cars, embodying taglines like The

Ultimate Driving Machine. So, it’s not surprising that

it includes an innovative lighting technology it calls

adaptive headlights, into its vehicles.

Using sensors that measure speed, steering angle and yaw,small electric motors turn the headlights left or right so the beam

falls on the road ahead. These headlights even adapt to speed, varying with speed, terrain and even oncoming traffic.

Smart headlights will use sophisticated technology, including MEMS andlasers, to automatically adjust our lights to driving conditions.

Ford is developing a camera-based lighting system designed with an infrared camera, GPS and special traffic sign recognition

technology. It will alert drivers when someone or something enters the vehicles path, but the real disruption is that the system

can remember previously traveled roads and automatically adjust lights to optimize visibility through curves and dips.

However novel these technologies appear within the context of an automobile headlight system, all of these innovations havebeen incorporated into various systems by technology manufacturing partners already serving military, healthcare, agriculture

mining and even energy sectors. With comprehensive design and global supply chains, technology manufacturing partners

provide exactly the scale and innovation required by auto industry partners seeking differentiation in the market.

Making Safe “Cool” WithAugmented Reality

Augmented reality (AR) is a

technology that overlays live

data (text, images, maps, etc.)

and information directly onto a

screen — a car’s windshield or a

driver’s glasses. Imagine that yourwindshield is now your dashboard

and your route displays as a color-coded

roadway to indicate things like oncoming

traffic.

Honda scientist, Victor Ng-Thow-Hing, is

developing just such a system. “Dying is a bad user

experience so you have to think carefully and not

trivially when you incorporate augmented reality in a

car.”

His system overlays colored outlines along the edges of the

road to make navigating safer, especially in bad weather.

By using strategically placed cameras outside the car, MINI is developing an AR vision system that transfers video footage into

AR glasses worn by a driver to basically make the car transparent. Known as MINI Augmented Vision, which was unveiled at the

Auto Shanghai 2015 motor this past spring, MINI Augmented Vision aims to determine how augmented-reality eyewear might

make driving safer and more convenient in the future.

Understanding that cell phones are so distracting that they’ve been implicated as a major reason for accidents, Mercedes-

Benz is developing an augmented reality system that projects information that would normally reside on a smartphone onto

the windshield, keeping drivers from fumbling for their phone while driving. After all, talking on a cell phone causes nearly25 percent of car accidents. And texting is even more distracting. For every 6 seconds of drive time, a driver sending or

receiving a text message spends 4.6 of those seconds with their eyes off the road. So, for even greater safety, most automobile

manufacturers that develop augmented reality systems also incorporate gesture and voice recognition.

And as we drive around the city or take the family on a road trip across the country, our automobiles become less about

transportation and more about information. Gathering and displaying data on weather, traffic, maps and road conditions as we

travel, our cars are at once visual data centers, smart guides, virtual assistants and cell phones.

Thoughtfully designed augmented reality graphics add context to our moving landscape, guiding us safely until our cars learn

to guide themselves.
