3. By 2020, 90% of cars are expected to
feature built-in connectivity
– up from just 10% today
With an estimated 210 million
connected cars hitting the road over the
next few years

4. 4
The fundamental challenges of Internet of Things
How to connect
to the devices
Capturing
device data
Making sense of the
device data in real-
time
Taking action on
the device data
Sharing devices,
data and insights

5. The Car’s Big Data Problem
“The car must not become a data monster”
Volume
Growing from
Terabytes to Exabytes
Velocity
In-flight data with
milliseconds response
Veracity
Varying freshness
and trustworthiness
Variety
Different forms of data
from different sources
25 GB
of data per hour
generated from
a Plug-in hybrid
vehicle
38
microsecond
response to
millions of
events per
second
80% 3% - 5%
of data is
unstructured –
traffic, weather,
docs
of warranty
claims are
fraudulent

7. Connected Car usage patterns
Monetize
• Charge for usage of vehicles
• Enable Pay-per-use models of things
Optimize
• Improve efficiency of activities with data from
vehicles
• Anticipate & predict optimal actions and
responses
Extend
• Provide more value through connected vehicles
• Deliver data, content, services through things
Control
• Remotely affect behavior of vehicles
• Make remote adjustments to optimize settings
