for their connectivity and infotainment systems. Auto makers are applying artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), computer vision, natural language processing and robotic automation to expand the horizon of possibilities for the industry. AI and ML algorithms will analyse data from various sources
to detect potential hazards and predict accidents in real time, improving overall safety on the roads. Whilst plans for fully- autonomous vehicles have been delayed by technical and regulatory complexities, AI and ML will play a part in optimising the manufacturing processes, supply chain management and vehicle performance. AI-powered chatbots, virtual assistants and personalised recommendations will provide a superior customer experience, from personalised in-car entertainment options to vehicle maintenance, with the added power of over-the-air updates, connectivity and in-vehicle gaming for passengers. Recently, FPT Soſtware partnered with a major Korean
consumer electronics and technology company to develop a cutting-edge In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) system for an immersive, connected experience. A ccOS Web App Framework was used to develop Over-Te-Top applications to stream video, music and other types of multimedia content. Two operating systems – QNX for the CLU and AVN on Linux – were synchronised to allow all three parts of the IVI system to display correctly in real time.
The upcoming era of software-defined vehicles Soſtware-defined vehicles are redefining the future of the automotive industry, harnessing advanced digital technologies to
enhance vehicle performance, safety and efficiency. Te soſtware approach gives auto makers freedom to standardise solutions across different vehicle models and brands, and new levels of convenience, comfort and connectivity or drivers. Gartner estimates that the total market value for connected
vehicle data, including aggregated anonymised data and consumer-authorised services, will hit $10.8bn by 2030. With auto makers, transportation companies, telematics providers and fleet owners gathering petabytes of data from vehicles, engineers will understand more about how vehicles are performing, to either predict problems before they occur or create new services for drivers.
Working together Te industry is undergoing a major transformation and finding the right partner with our experience, expertise and proven track record to help on that journey will be a key differentiator in this competitive market. Based on the experience with the above-mentioned Korean corporation and other global auto makers, we have noticed that closer collaboration is necessary between automotive and technology companies as connected vehicles branch out into the broader ecosystem. By working together, companies can solve another challenge: the shortage of skilled soſtware engineers specialising in automotive technology. Many companies are turning to experienced IT vendors with
vertical industry know-how to access the necessary resources, which helps drive innovation and success in this fast-paced industry.
