Global Trends

• Urbanisation

• Growing mega cities

• Air quality major health problem

• Traffic accident global health issue

• Time for commuting

• Desire for time efficiency

• Desire for constant connectivity

Page 3: Connected automated cars

• Safety

• Fuel economy

• Traffic flow

• Improved mobility

• New mobility solutions

• Infrastructure

• Comfort

• Urban planning

AD Opportunities

Why AD? –

Customer Perspective

• What is it that modern people

are lacking?

• Time

• Constant connectivity

What if we can create a car that

offers time, connectivity and a

safe ride?

Autonomous Driving Functionality

Driver out of the loop

A self-driving vehicle must be able to handle all situations (and prove

that it can!)

No fall back responsibility for the driver SAE Levels 4 and 5

Highly/ Fully autonomous vehicles

• Road friction detection• Car measures road friction and sends to

other cars through the cloud

• Traffic flow information

• Animals/ Pedestrians/ Bicyclists

Connected Autonomous Driving

• Optimized traffic flow: • Optimized weaving

• Speed and distance between vehicles.

Reduced need for infrastructure investments.

• New mobility models:

• Cars on demand

• ’Peer to Peer’ sharing

• Ride sharing

• Autonomous parking:

• Cars range themselves away from city centres

• Merge between individual mobility and public transportation

Page 10: Connected automated cars

• Highly and Fully Autonomous vehicles (levels 4 and 5) will bring many opportunities to the society and to its citizens and will enhance sustainablemobility:

• AD levels 4 and 5 will safely enable the driver to do other things while the car is in control.

• Connectivity essential for the safe performance of highly and fully autonomous vehicles.

• Connectivity may be used for sharing importantsafety data and optimizing traffic

• Cloud connectivity for tactical and strategicdecisionmaking.

• Only minor infrastructure changes are needed for this development.

Connected Autonomous CarsConclusions

•Save people’stime and uncomplicatingtheir lives!
