  • The path towards automated, autonomous mobility is complex to the extent that there is no single path to achieve it. However, this transition it is either viewed as an automaker initiative or as a technology disruptor. Location intelligence plays its part in this process. It entails the collation, analysis and distribution of geospatial data to…

  • Connected and autonomous vehicles need a way to connect to a mobile network. Ericsson predicts that all the manufactured vehicles will be cellular-enabled by 2025, “leading to an enhanced driving experience made possible by innovative connected services, like assisted driving and better infotainment”. Being cellular-enabled will require the vehicles to have e-SIMS to connect them…

  • The future of connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) depends on a number of factors, and one of the most vital ones is cyber-security. Protecting the vehicles, the highways and the infrastructure that support them is now seen as one of the key elements to accelerating the technologies. One emerging technology that will inevitably have an…

  • Many of the proponents for autonomous vehicles say they are safer than human drivers, reducing accidents, deaths, and injuries. However, an article by Tony Gillespie, visiting professor, electronic and electrical engineering at the University College London (UCL) in Engineering and Technology magazine says it is inevitable that the vehicles themselves will be involved in accidents.…

  • Nearly a year ago the European Commission published a report on the ethics of data and artificial intelligence in connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs). Part of the discussion in the text is about data and artificial intelligence (AI) ethics to provide some insight into the data protection issues automakers are expected to overcome. According to…

  • Navigation products are being released all the time promising drivers the ability to take into account extreme weather conditions. Matthew Avery, director of insurance research at Thatcham Research, reminds us that drivers need to be aware of the weather at all times in order to ensure that they drive safely. Connectivity can permit them to…

  • The mobility industry is transforming itself and, with it, comes the need to change and improve automotive connectivity. New technologies won’t work without it because it defines the future of mobility thanks to the key role that real-time data analysis, to and from vehicles as well as from the infrastructure around them, will play. It…

  • Oslo kicked off its plans to integrate autonomous vehicles into its network transport network in January 2021 with a year-long autonomous vehicle trial. The city’s transport network is operated by Ruter, the public transport authority for Oslo and Akershus county in Norway. With its partners it is operating the pilot in Nordre Follo municipality, near…

  • Simon Gianordoli, policy and project officer at ERF, explains the study, on connected and autonomous mobility, analyzed regulatory and legislative advancements within this field to comprehend “what is and what would be the role of the road infrastructure”. Top of the rankings for this were the Netherlands and Sweden. “The Netherlands is considered to be…

  • A confirmation by the UK Government confirmed in April that automated lane keeping systems (ALKS) technology “could be legally defined as self-driving, despite insurance industry concerns around safety”, says the Insurance Times. Matthew Avery, director of research at Thatcham Research, explained in the article that “there is still a lot of work needed by both…
