Recently, I had the privilege of attending a meeting with one of the world's leading auto manufacturers. A profound statement from that meeting resonated with me: "We don't want more sensors on our vehicles; we want more real-time data in our vehicles." This insight has been echoing in my mind, prompting a broader reflection on the future of automotive technology and infrastructure... The traditional approach of equipping vehicles with numerous sensors is evolving. It seems like the industry is shifting towards a model where the emphasis is on harnessing real-time data to enhance the driving experience. This evolution raises a pivotal question: What if auto manufacturers began investing significantly in intelligent infrastructure projects for local and state Departments of Transportation (DOTs)? Such a collaborative effort could revolutionize how we perceive vehicle intelligence and safety. Local and state governments often face challenges like underfunding, understaffing, and excessive workloads. Despite these constraints, they are the unsung heroes responsible for maintaining the infrastructure upon which our vehicles rely. The time is ripe for auto manufacturers to play a transformative role. By funding infrastructure improvements, they can directly contribute to creating a richer, real-time data environment for their vehicles. This investment isn't just about corporate responsibility; it's about pioneering a future where vehicles are smarter, safer, and more connected. I propose a new paradigm: instead of asking, "Who's going to pay for it?" let's ask, "Who could benefit from paying for it, yet not own it?" Auto manufacturers stand to gain immensely from such investments, as do drivers, communities, and the environment. Let's encourage them to take a proactive stance. By investing in our infrastructure, they're not just waiting for change; they're driving it. The future of smart, safe vehicles depends on real-time data. ...And real-time data thrives on robust, intelligent infrastructure. #v2x #visionzero #pedestriansafety #5G #connectedcommunity #ai

Austin K. W., great comments, Time to Build the Infrastructure for the Next 100 Years. Key to solving this national challenge is understanding that Intelligent Infrastructure is NOT a product or technology; it is the Economic Business Model. For 20 years: we have failed to deploy 5.9G to optimize mobility and save lives; failed to get broadband for all; failed with a national M2M fabric; failed with a terrestrial enhanced GPS; failed with resilient micro-grids; . . . It has always been an economic challenge. i.e. The estimate to mobilize the 5.9G spectrum was $65 billion in 2013. INTELLIGENT INFRASTRUCTURE will eliminate over 50% of the deployment costs and upgrades for the next 30 years.  The Federal Infrastructure Bank and infrastructure investors are mobilizing $billions in private capital to build the Roads of the 21st Century. Intelligent Infrastructure Economic Zones will revitalize infrastructure in the United States.  https://lnkd.in/gWnJD877 The Autonomy Institute has over 300 industry partners, private infrastructure investors, and our nation's strongest infrastructure manufacturers.

Telematics systems installed in cars collect and transmit data such as location, usage patterns, fuel consumption, and vehicle condition to a central server. This data is then utilized for various purposes, including managing reservations, tracking vehicle availability, monitoring usage, billing users, and ensuring maintenance needs are met. Car sharing telematics plays a crucial role in facilitating the efficient operation of car sharing services by providing real-time insights and control over vehicle fleets.

🌟 It’s a wrap! 🌟 After two full days of engaging discussions on EV, Mobility, Telematics, Fleet, and Risk Management at the #MOVE2024 conference, I’m buzzing with excitement. With so many interesting sessions, my agenda was triple-booked at times! Here are some key takeaways: 🚗 **EV Fleet Charging**: The industry is in the exploration stage, experimenting with various solutions, conducting POCs, and seeking synergies across countries. 📊 **Telematics**: Data collection, including hard-to-get vehicle data, has improved significantly. There’s an increased use of AI and data modeling to circumvent unavailable data. However, many players feel they’re not yet fully utilizing the raw data they’ve accumulated. 🚛 **Fleet Operators**: They’re beginning to overcome the operational continuity challenges posed by electrification. The next step is enhancing operations to deliver with the least energy consumption possible. 🔋 **V2G (Vehicle-to-Grid)**: Opinions are mixed about the impact on battery health. One major fleet operator has been trialing V2G with no significant negative impact, while others express concerns about LFP battery potential degradation due to increased charge/discharge cycles (implied cost of 0.30€/cycle mentioned🧐). 🚀 **Startups**: The environment is ripe for innovation! I saw a vast array of solutions, from high-tech advancements like new battery chemistries to practical solutions such as preventing charging slots from being misused as parking spots. Toyota is inviting innovators to join forces, with opportunities for funding and trials to solve mobility issues (which may or may not be car-related).
