With over 60% of European city dwellers saying they support the use of emission-free cars exclusively after 2030, there’s a real focus on reduced-emission, sustainable commuting. Increasingly, micromobility is seen as playing an important role, both as a standalone mode of transport and as bridging the gap between private EV use and public transport needs.
5G-enabled connected vehicles are coming – and with them, a wealth of genuinely revolutionary opportunities for carmakers. As vehicles transform beyond mode of transport into fully-connected, integrated hubs, agile manufacturers won’t simply be going along for the ride – they’ll be leading the way.
New EV announcements and AV concepts grab the headlines but the unifying theme is one of major players working together to evolve their products and technologies for a more sustainable future. Here’s a quick round-up of some of the stories that caught our eye.
As we look forward to 2022, it’s interesting to reflect on some of the major themes and trends in mobility, automotive and connectivity that captured the imagination in 2021.
2024-25 will be a pivotal period in the shift towards software-defined vehicles, says Cubic Telecom’s Punitha Sinnapan. In this Automotive News Europe podcast, our VP of Automotive Design and Innovation discussed major trends in telematics and the megatrend towards a world where every vehicle is connected.
From autonomous vehicles (AVs) to mobility-as-a-service (MaaS), 5G and vehicle-to-everything (V2X), our roundup of 2021’s most popular posts will lead you through the technologies and systems that are transforming the automotive sector.
Cars aren’t just cars any more. And no one knows that better than automotive’s top innovators.
Improving vehicle connectivity and extracting data insights to address rapidly evolving climate and production demands will give farming companies the platform they need to start solving their climate, productivity and supply chain challenges.
What’s happening inside a car is just one aspect of road safety. The evolution of IoT sensors and low-latency networks like 5G will play a big part in improving road safety, especially when they are integrated with Urban Data Platforms (UDPs).
