SAE Symposium: Intelligent Vehicle Systems Advancing the Connected Mobility Experience November 8-9, 2011 Troy Marriott, Troy MI Evolution of Connected Vehicle Ecosystem Partha Goswami Technology Manager Connected Vehicle & Infotainment General Motors Advanced Technology Work Warren, Michigan, USA
Evolution of Vehicle as the Ultimate Connected Device An OEM perspective A growing set of connectivity technologies is being deployed to support this evolution Vehicle is now a key node in our connected life. Indeed in-car display is often described as the fourth screen of our life. Integration of fast evolving consumer electronics (CE), especially mobile handsets with vehicle infotainment is critical Proposed V2X use-cases are a core element in this connectivity evolution to support both safety and mobility application. Yet its deployment has been a moving target. Questions to explore: 1. Does integration of personal mobile devices obviate the need for dedicated or embedded connectivity solution? 2. What could be the trajectory to incorporate V2V and/or V2I systems? 3. How do we (OEM) manage and sustain the complex growing eco-system of diverse connectivity solutions?

Hybrid Connectivity Approaches & their Complex Eco-system Connectivity Key Features Benefits Embedded (Built in) Handset (Brought-In) Wireless Carrier relationships IT Systems /Back office Analytics / Data Centers Customer activation & retention / Billing Infrastructure Software validation/release Regulatory Systems Call Centers Public Safety agency / Law enforcement relationships Emergency/Trauma care 24/7 dedicated connectivity Access to back-end support Integrated with vehicle data Consumer s device & data plan is the main conduit for content HMI via pre-defined API Consumer privacy Management necessitates extensive partnerships Reliability Ideal for CRM applications EV apps (e.g., Smart charging) Air time independent of OEM Easier to keep pace with CE industry.. Regardless of connectivity mode, OEMs need to manage new business & technology components of the eco-system, such as Business components Technology Components Human Machine Interface Chip Set manufacturers Software Content Providers Navigation Traffic Media etc. App Developer Community Voice Rec solutions Wireless technologies SAE IVS/P.
