Connected car technology has made tremendous growth in 2014, both in terms of speed of innovation and consumer perception. Automated driving, Google's and Apple's in-vehicle operating systems, and car-to-car communications are important milestones in the connected car sector over the past 12 months. At the same time, automakers have promised to increase their efforts to protect users' data and privacy.
In 2015, the trend in the connected car field will be accelerated, and related technologies will further change the car. Recently, the technology website PCMag predicted the four major trends of connected cars in 2015.
1. Car-to-car communication quietly came out
Last year, the US federal government expressed its willingness to force future cars to join the V2V communication technology. However, the US V2V and Vehicle-to-Car Infrastructure (V2I) standards will not be available until 2016, and some automakers are reluctant to wait so long. Toyota has said that as Japanese automakers and regulators have developed standards, they are about to begin integrating V2V and V2I technology into models for the domestic market. In the United States, General Motors president Mary Bara announced that Cadillac will receive V2V and V2I technology in 2017, but GM is also likely to quietly join these technologies early in their models.
2. More mainstream models get driving assistance
One of the great truths of the scientific and technological world is that at the same cost, consumers will get more every year, because the functions that were originally only available in high-end products will gradually enter the mainstream. Driver assistance technology is currently showing this trend, but it offers much greater benefits than other automotive technologies such as power windows and keyless entry systems. Toyota Chief Security Technology Officer Moritaka Yoshida said last month that automakers "have the goal of introducing cheap technology in large quantities." He pointed out that the improvement brought by passive systems such as seat belts has already seen diminishing returns, and those technologies that can directly prevent car accidents can bring greater benefits. Toyota has begun to add life-saving driving assistance systems to low-end models, and other manufacturers should follow suit.
3.CarPlay/Android Auto coexists with OEM infotainment system
In the first half of 2014, Apple and Google successively launched their own device integration solutions for cars, and promised to launch them at the end of the year. But in 2014, CarPlay and Android Auto are still not available, which also makes German car manufacturers give their own dashboards and displays – and more important data – to the two tech giants. Some hesitant. The ultimate bring of CarPlay and Android Auto does not mean the demise of the OEM infotainment system, they are more like a signal to ease the relationship between the two parties. Just like Dr. Wolfgang Epple, Jaguar Land Rover Research and Technology Director, recently released the justDrive smartphone integration solution, Apple CarPlay and Google Android Auto can co-exist with OEM solutions from car manufacturers – this is a single solution. Give users more and better choices.
4. OTA software upgrades are more popular
Although the related technology has been in place many years ago, in addition to Tesla, OTA software upgrades have not been widely adopted by auto manufacturers. But this may change as more cars gain different forms of networking capabilities. Ford is the first car manufacturer to offer infotainment software upgrades for the Sync system, but users must download the upgrade package from the web page to the U disk and then upload it to the car. In the new Sync 3 system, Ford added Wi-Fi functionality, which enabled an OTA upgrade. Although the upgrades offered by Ford are not as simple as the Tesla Model S, but as more cars have this capability, other automakers are expected to follow suit quickly, especially considering that 2014 The recall of sloppy and burning money can actually be solved by OTA upgrade.
