  • Bruno Taratufolo, marketing and product strategy at AGC Glass Europe – “The smart transport system should prioritize sustainability, and the needs of pedestrians and cyclists by making cities more accessible and safer for non-motorized forms of transportation. There is also the carbon footprint, which will also come into the game, which smart transport should reduce…

  • At AutoTech Europe, TU-Automotive took a step back to look back at last year’s conference in which it was claimed that 5G C-V2X is paving the way for fully autonomous vehicles. Key to the discussion is whether 5G as well as 5G C-V2X are sufficient for creating a fully autonomous vehicle future. Niels Peter Skov…

  • 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…

  • 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.…

  • 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…

  • Beyond his work with TU Automotive and Trudy Darwin Communications, between 2020 and 2022, Graham Jarvis – freelance business and technology journalist, wrote and edited insurtech reports for Intelligent Insurer; wrote articles on cryptocurrencies in healthcare; wrote about education; edited and wrote fleet management reports for ABAX; wrote about digital accessibility; wrote about cloud computing;…

  • Millbrook Proving Ground and Midlands Future Mobility have opted to develop ‘neutral host’ networks. These are allowing any connected and autonomous vehicle developer to work with any mobile network operator of their own choosing. While 5G Open Ran (O-RAN) is not an open source, it is a significant new network provision in the UK, and…
