Thales says, globally, there will be 75 million vehicles with autonomous capabilities by 2035.
However, to reassure the users of the vehicles, as well as to increase uptake of connected and autonomous vehicles, along with efficient connectivity has to come stringent cyber-security. Trust is key to their development, including in how the data from the vehicles is processes, analyzed and used. The company also claims that a revolution is underway in the automotive market. It believes it’s an unprecedented one that involves technological, societal, and competitive change to the extent that the traditional car is becoming a truly connected object. With this connectivity the car or any other connected vehicle type is “gradually offering new functionalities such as the possibility to alert the driver to danger, detect drowsiness or connect a smartphone to the onboard computer”.
This connectivity and interconnectivity involve “the real-time exchange of data between the vehicle, the user and their environment opens up a whole new world of services”. The interconnectivity comes in the guise of the vehicle-to-everything (V2X) infrastructure, whereby the vehicles and infrastructure such as traffic lights communicate with each other as part of a system of advanced assisted driving solutions, shared mobility, autonomous driving, and the fast-growing electric vehicle (EV) ecosystem.
