Intel Connected Car
Intel takes the “Connected Car” concept to a completely new level. A group of cameras and sensors connected to a built-in platform capable of storing driving behavior from steering, braking, speed even the way you honk. This information is extremely valuable for insurance companies and the police.
From a laptop or smartphone, the car is capable of receiving commands like:
- Start Engine
- Adjust Seat Temperature
- Lock doors
- Get Car Location (displayed on the map)
There are tremendous amount of services that can built on top of this platform interface. Protecting privacy is though and as always another issue.
If this Intel prototyp will find its way to car manufacturers and become on the market then this would be a major step towards Ericsson’s vision of 50 billion connections in 2020.
