The growth in the Internet of Things (IoT) is disrupting even the most traditional market sectors. Transportation is no exception; connected car use cases today are rich and varied.
Mainstream technology and applications can already connect a single vehicle to an external cloud or server to deliver in-car services, such as music and video streaming, traffic alerts and even the European initiative, eCall.
Applications can also connect cars with other vehicles or infrastructure. This form of technology is called V2X (Vehicle to Everything) and enables multiple conveniences and safety use cases such as autonomous driving and the provision of advance potential hazard warnings, such as road works, an emergency vehicle approaching, nearby crash etc.
With new enabling communication technologies on the horizon, such as 5G, connected car use cases and applications are set to grow exponentially.
This eBook explores the nature of certain security and logistical challenges posed by connected cars, and suggests how the eUICC can be utilised to successfully address them.
