JCN Newswire (English)
DENSO Corporation, Ericsson, Intel Corporation, Nippon Telegraph
and Telephone Corporation (NTT), NTT DOCOMO, INC., Toyota
InfoTechnology Center Co., Ltd. and Toyota Motor Corporation today
announced that they have initiated the formation of the Automotive
Edge Computing Consortium. The objective of the consortium is to
develop an ecosystem for connected cars to support emerging
services such as intelligent driving, the creation of maps with
real-time data and driving assistance based on cloud computing.
It is estimated that the data volume between vehicles and the cloud
will reach 10 exabytes per month around 2025, approximately 10,000
times larger than the present volume. This expected increase will
trigger the need for new architectures of network and computing
infrastructure to support distributed resources and topology-aware
storage capacity. The architectures will be compliant with
applicable standards, which requires collaboration on a local and
global scale.
The consortium will focus on increasing network capacity to
accommodate automotive big data in a reasonable fashion between
vehicles and the cloud by means of edge computing and more
efficient network design. It will define requirements and develop
use cases for emerging mobile devices with a particular focus on
the automotive industry, bringing them to standards bodies,
industry consortiums and solution providers. The consortium will
also encourage the development of best practices for the
distributed and layered computing approach recommended by the
members.
In the coming months, the aforementioned companies will initiate
activities to invite relevant global technology leaders and expand
the consortium.
