Sharing Data in Automotive Applications

Abstract

As we are approaching a new mobility age where zero-emission and highly automated vehicles become the foundation of a mobility as a service ecosystem, sharing data in real time via V2X to optimize safety, security and energy efficiency as well as operational service efficiency becomes essential. Giving the history of proprietary system development in the automotive industry and the vehicle-centric business model, sharing in particular safety and security relevant data across the complete smart mobility ecosystem poses a big hurdle and requires significant standardization efforts between the different stakeholders involved. Low latency, high bandwidth and blockchain/DLT-based standardized data protocols are critical factors to be considered in the problem resolution. It is also important that testbed infrastructure is shared among the ecosystem participants both in the development stage as well as in the certification stage, test scenarios are standardized and test data is shared.
