Sixteen Case: The Connected Car Revolution Chapter We are currently in the middle of the connected car revolution, with vehicles equipped with smart Internet access, and a number of information systems that make driving easy, intelligent, and Connected cars share information with individuals inside and outside the car via smart networks and safe manner. Connected cars have the power of 20 modern PCS and contain more au milion lines of code that can process up to 25 gigabytes of data in an hout. From automobile acturers to software vendors to telecommunication companies, everyone is excited about the cd car phenomenon. Connected cars are not some futuristic auto technology. In fact, the con cedar already on the market and generating significant revenue for car makers and technology Dwer and passenger safety are the key benefits of a connected car, which warn the driver of edema hazards and internal responses of the vehicle to hazards. The central monitoring system racis multiple sensors for warning signs and indications related to the health of the car. It can companies. A few benefits of the connected car en check external weather conditions and hazardous road conditions to alert the drivers in time car crashes are the leading cause of death for us. teens, and speeding is a contributing factor in bour to monitor and set restrictions on the car's speed, hours of operation, and where it travels. If the gent, but a new application developed for Hyundai's in-car infotainment system allows parents diver exceeds a preset speed limit, for example, the parent will receive an alert via text, email, and soon, a mobile app. The teenage driver also will see a notification on the vehicle's multimedia screen. connected cars take the infotainment to the next level by delivering popular content to the pas sengers . Today, car entertainment is mostly confined to FM radio and Bluetooth connectivity. With De availability of high-speed networks, popular streaming services such as Pandora, Spotify, and Hur become available. Consumers will have a huge choice of digital content.

It can even automatically stop and start just before the light turns green. This feature translates to a greater fuel efficiency . By tracking the driving patterns, connected cars can assess the wear and tear of a vehicle.

Service stations can periodically gather the diagnostic information over the air to perform pre- dictive analysis. They can proactively reach out to the vehicle owners to schedule a service appointment Over the next 5 to 10 years, the connected car market is expected to explode, creating a new Platform for consumers to access content and revolutionize the auto industry, Industry experts equate De connected car market with where the smartphone was in 2010: it's just taken off and is ready to splode with an estimate that over 380 million connected cars will be on the road by 2021. Technol- ogy companies will play a major role in the future of the automotive market. The big question now is ether technology companies will eventually manufacture cars. * Next up, a world where cars drive themselves? Although fully autonomous vehicles are not yer mainstream, they are only a few years away. Technological, regulatory, and consumer adoption but dles still remain, but there have been many strides toward a car that can drive itself from point All point B with little to no human interaction.
