Connected Vehicle Cloud Platforms
PurchaseWith the emergence of connected infotainment systems (connected navigation, social media, music streaming, and in-car Wi-Fi) and accompanying automotive application frameworks, more advanced vehicle connectivity platforms and cloud capabilities are required. This results in advanced cloud-based connected car platforms with capabilities that far exceed those of legacy telematics platforms and also requires broadband cellular connectivity, initially 3G, but now increasingly 4G, and with 5G based services already being discussed. Additionally, OTA is quickly becoming a key vehicle lifecycle management tool as well as an enabler of analytics and big data approaches. Finally, with connected vehicles increasingly communicating, interacting, and engaging with other connected industries such as energy, transportation, and smart home, the cloud is quickly becoming the key technology enabling cars connecting with the wider IoE.
This report discusses typical connected car cloud applications, benefits, limitations, and constraints, solutions, and main players and provides forecasts per application and service category.
