Introduction

Wireless communications in vehicles is increasing in importance and promises to make driving safer, traffic flow smoother, energy consumption more efficient and emissions lower. Several emerging technologies and services, such as intelligent driving, the creation of maps with real-time data and driving assistance based on cloud computing, require vehicles to be connected to the cloud and networks to facilitate the transfer of large amounts of data among vehicles and between vehicles and the cloud. Based on estimations, there will be a need for new network architectures and computing infrastructure to support massive computing resources and topology-aware storage capacity for balancing quality and cost.

Workshop Goals

Assess current connectivity solutions, interoperability, co-habitation and interference challenges
Review C-V2X pilots and deployment results
Understand the emerging role of edge servers in safety critical applications
Potential for a group of vehicles to act as micro clouds/virtual edge servers
Explore future network deployment and business models to support the future needs of connected vehicles
Understand future requirements and any shortcomings to fully address the challenge of automotive big data
Explore use-cases beyond latency-sensitive safety applications which demand big data capacity growth between vehicles and the cloud
