Connected car experts were interviewed about what telematics services consumers will pay for and how they will pay. Most agreed that navigation services with traffic updates are most valuable. Remote access apps and fleet/security services were also cited. Payment will primarily be through inclusion in the initial vehicle price or annual/monthly subscriptions, with extended free trials common. Mass market brands may include basic services by default while high-end brands offer more optional services. OEMs and dealers were identified as being best positioned to leverage the vehicle data for additional aftermarket sales and services.

Keynote delivered by Steffen Schaefer, Head of Innovation for Mobility Management, Senior Principal at Siemens AG
Urban roads are clogged; Public Transport is at its limit in many places. But demand for urban mobility is only growing. It is predicted to triple by 2050. New mobility services like car sharing, bike sharing, ride sharing are widely emerging. Demand Responsive Transport and self-driving taxi services are becoming a significant new mode in urban transport. They are all largely possible due to new (digital) technologies. Digitalization is highly disruptive to the Mobility ecosystem. The value however of Mobile Internet, Internet of Things, and Cloud Computing is very clear. Aggressive and well funded new players who understand these technologies are entering the market. Traditional main line and public transport operators, Automotive OEMs, taxi companies, and road authorities must act, otherwise they will be left behind. And transport legislation must be adapted to create a suitable framework for a new ecosystem. The large number of mobility services from various providers brings a host of options to the traveler, but also certain complexity. What apps do I need for which region? Packaging and simplification of mobility services is essential. Mobility as a Service (MaaS) will help to do so, in a model that is very similar to Telco industries. A scalable, digital mobility platform will form the backbone of all mobility infrastructure and services.
For telematics service providers, content providers and car manufacturers, Telematics Insurance represents a very stable, long term, profitable business model. Yet Usage Based Insurance is a connected service none of them is in control of- yet.
The presentation highlights the benefits and opportunities to work with insurance companies on innovative UBI models.
This presentation was made in September 2003 at the Telematics Conference SSE by Ptolemus to highlight the potential of Telematics Insurance in the area.

This live proof of concept delivered on the idea of distribution a contextually relevant offer, at the appropriate time, with a geolocation overlay that drove accountable outcomes at the cash register. The Medium is the Message is part of the what's next vision for how to create the connected car into a new medium.
In the past decade, auto manufacturers have installed various technologies designed to make cars safer, more responsive, and more pleasurable to drive. From the hands-free cellphone, to iPod berths, to satellite radio, to automated parking—not to mention Google’s self-driving vehicle—the automobile is undergoing an electronic overhaul that promises to transform its role for consumers. What once was perceived as personal transportation is fast evolving into a new mobile device, merging with the digital world into an all-encompassing communications environment.
This ongoing transformation is poised to shift into high gear as cars display still greater connectivity and broader capabilities than ever. What makes this shift different from the way automobiles adopted new technologies in the past is that this time, automakers may have to consider how they can quickly merge consumer electronics and software with their traditional automotive systems.
As the connected car becomes the center of the Internet of Things, 2016 is shaping up to be an inflection point for automotive technology. Join WFS as we examine the recent deals in the space, and discuss the future with a luminary panel from ANSYS, Inrix, Glympse and CalAmp.

"The methods of artificial intelligence and augmented reality have always been the substance of rumination and speculation since very recently, where they’ve started to take very a central role in our lives.
Intelligent technologies today are computer-aided systems that completely control all industrial pipelines. They can operate autonomously and on this account all processes can be managed independently.
Today’s logistics do not resemble one-way storage of goods seen up to a few years ago. This is due to new web technologies that allow an entirely new level of interaction within the moving parts of a given logistics eco-system. As these technologies continue developing at a rapid pace, several partially and fully automated logistic frameworks are already readying for deployment."
"When we compare Industry 4.0 advantages and classic ERP programs advantages We see below points ;
- Space-efficient storage. This will save in warehouse areas and volumes. Ex. Kardex Remstar applications, vertical storage solutions
- ERP’s are integrated warehouse management software.
So the error will be absolutely minimal. Prevention of losses due to lack of communication in monolithic systems that have one point of failure.
- Automatic and controlled product circulation. This will allow for increased work safety and fewer work accidents. This will naturally result in risk reduction resulting from controllability, especially in hazardous material logistics.
- Line feed, standby modules. So perfect stock management, “0” inventory loss.
- Automatic finished product warehouses. This will allow for unmanned warehouses, fast vehicle loading and unloading systems that can work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Cellular transfer storage systems.
For distribution centers and warehouse management systems that implement Industry 4.0 technologies, data needs to be collected, analyzed, acted on, and secured in order to partake in the data driven decision-making Industry 4.0 advertises."
The Internet of things is spreading its influence on all the verticals we can think of. From healthcare to agriculture, connected devices are proving to be more and more valuable everyday.
On the consumer side, very much has been said about wearables and smart home appliances. But one of the industries the most impacted by the IoT revolution is definitely the automotive sector.
The internet of things is changing the way car dealers sell cars and consumers drive them. The emergence of new products and new services will ultimately craft a new economy for the car industry. If they want to survive, the various players of the automotive industry, from carmakers, to OEMs, to insurers, will have to adapt their business model.
Fortunately, most of them have already jumped on the bandwagon. All the players of the automotive industry are now catching up, competing with each other to launch ever more innovative features.
In this presentation, we explore how the IoT is impacting the automotive sector and what new services are emerging.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

A Telematics Update White Paper
Who pays for what, how, and who will benefit the most from the data
captured in the process. These are some of the big questions that are
being asked as the connected car industry shifts attention from growing
market penetration rates to getting a return on its investment.
Last year, Telematics Update took the questions to the 700 or so attendees
of Telematics Munich 2012, Europe’s largest connected car forum. This
year, we are revisiting them with five leading experts on the subject:
Roger Lanctot, associate director, Strategy Analytics; Michael Schraut,
project manager, ConnectedDrive, BMW Group; Martin Rosell, managing
director, WirelessCar; Marc Necker, manager augmented reality, Daimler
AG, and Pavan Mathew, global head of connected car, Telefónica Digital.
You will find major differences of opinion between last year’s survey
results and this year’s expert views. This is as much a sign of how fast the
connected car industry continues to evolve as evidence of the nebulosity
that continues to characterize the space.
Still, important points of consensus are beginning to emerge, at least
when it comes to this year’s connected car experts.
One is that connected navigation, which includes real-time traffic
information and routing services, is what customers will be most willing
to pay for in the foreseeable future. Remote access apps like Volvo On Call,
which lets a smartphone-happy driver perform remote functions like car
lock/unlock, view the dashboard or adjust climate control settings, are the
runner-up when it comes to paid services.
Although pay-as-you-go may sound like the fairest way of billing for many
services, including telematics in the price of the vehicle and monthly/
yearly billing will continue to dominate, with mass-market OEMs like
Volkswagen or Opel favoring the former and high-end car makers like
BMW, Mercedes and Audi opting for the latter. Both are expected to use
extended free trial periods as an inducement.
Four out of the five experts interviewed agreed that OEMs (along with
dealers) will harvest the most data from connected cars. What remains to
be seen, however, is whether they will succeed in leveraging that data into
additional revenue from aftermarket sales of repairs and services.

What is the top telematics service that consumers will pay
for?
}} Roger Lanctot, Associate Director, Strategy Analytics:
I am inclined to say navigation services, despite the fact that there is some
movement towards free. But doing navigation properly, with up-to-date
map [data], reliable traffic information and appropriate alerts and routing,
that has value. And people are willing to pay for that. Roadside assistance
is pretty much freely available with any new vehicle. Emergency services
… I think people expect that and would be outraged to have to pay for
it. [Remote diagnostics] will manifest itself in terms of accessing vehicle
information on mobile devices, which already exists today, and consumer
websites and dealer-facing websites, which are at the very earliest stages.
But it’s going to take a process of education before people will even be
aware or interested in that, let alone willing to pay for it.
}} Michael Schraut, Project Manager, ConnectedDrive, BMW Group:
Navigation services [with traffic information] are very important. Getting
somewhere fast is, of course, very important, but so is knowing your arrival
time. Fleet and security services are, of course, a very high priority for
customers who manage fleets. Other things like in-car entertainment are
interesting as additional services, but they are not core.
}} Martin Rosell, Managing Director, WirelessCar:
On a global scale, there will be a number of different answers to this,
depending on geography, culture and things like that. Do you pay for
stolen vehicle recovery? Well, if you are in Russia, obviously you do,
and for good reasons. But do you do that in Europe? Not really. In the
United States, you pay for emergency call [services]. Fleets? Definitely
when it comes to commercial vehicle telematics, but there are also
really interesting new areas like car sharing or car pooling. Connected
car services, remote diagnostics? I think people are interested in paying
for [services] like the Volvo On Call app, which lets you see where the
car is, you can get notifications, you see a lot of information. In-car
entertainment? People will pay for it, to a certain extent. But I will never
pay for a new subscription for Spotify. I have it on my mobile phone
[already]. However, I am willing to pay for the phone integration into the
head unit. Connected navigation services? Definitely. They are very much
focused on the core value of using a car, particularly when it comes to big
cities with traffic problems.

}} Marc Necker, Manager Augmented Reality, Daimler AG:
Certainly people will be willing to pay for navigation services like TomTom
Live Traffic because these systems actually cost money to operate. So
you have to charge money for it. The question is how much of it will be a
commodity in something like ten years. I don’t believe people will pay for
in-car entertainment. What would that be? Renting a video? Commercial
fleet operators pay for fleet and security services today, and they will pay
in the future. And I think people would be willing to pay for connected
car services like remote activation of climate control, remote door unlock
and remote configuration of radio settings or MP3 uploads to the vehicle.
Still, it’s difficult to say if the whole connected services stuff will be a huge
source of revenue for the car manufacturer. I personally don’t believe that
we will make a huge amount of money. People expect that the vehicle will
do stuff like this. So it will [eventually] become a commodity.
}} Pavan Mathew, Global Head of Connected Car, Telefónica Digital:
There is a little bit of variability between regions. In the U.S., it’s diagnostic-
and safety-related services, and I believe it’s the case in Europe too. But it’s
changing [there] because of some of the news that eCall is making. I am
not sure if it’s reached the consumers yet, but it’s obviously reached the
automakers and the ecosystem, and they are almost making it sound as
though vehicle diagnostics and safety-related [services] may be included
in the price of the vehicle. In that case, I would say that infotainment is
creeping up in Europe. But it’s a [very] early stage, and only a handful of
items qualify [at the moment]: things related to navigation and things
related to music or radio. Eventually, if you – and I am talking five, ten years
down the road – bring some autonomous driving type of applications
that are revenue-based, I think you’ll have something cooking and
something huge.

How do you think the future EU consumer will pay for
telematics services?
}} Roger Lanctot, Associate Director, Strategy Analytics:
If I am a consumer, I don’t want to pay. If I am a car maker, I want to make
sure everybody is paying. The direction of the market is towards a long-
term free, sort of extended trial subscription period with some kind of a
[base-level] service and then some very attractive step-up propositions.
Having all cars connected is too important for an OEM to allow people to
drive off the dealer lot without something being activated. We are [also]
at the earliest stages of enabling more flexible payment propositions. The
companies that provide these sorts of flexible payment platforms on the
wireless side are just beginning to come over to the automotive side. Pay-
as-you-go, pay-per-use, on demand, advertising supported, everything
will be on the table. But the infrastructure elements are not in place yet,
and they will take a few years.
}} Michael Schraut, Project Manager, ConnectedDrive, BMW Group:
For our business customers, it’s interesting to have [telematics services]
in a kind of [prepaid] package. They don’t want to go to the boss every
month and ask if they can buy additional services. For private customers, I
think it’s interesting to have a monthly or annual [billing]. The user should
really understand what he gets, and a time-based [billing] is a good way.
[Pay-as-you-go] depends on the situation. If you are renting a car, it might
be interesting because it’s not your car, and you just need it for the ride.
But once you own the car, I think flat rates are more interesting.
}} Martin Rosell, Managing Director, WirelessCar:
Initial price of the vehicle, like BMW in North America, which includes
BMW Assist for ten years. People are starting to follow this. In China, it’s 36
months included in the car because, in China, the average car ownership
is 36 months. Then you have a discussion about the second owner, and
then it comes to connected [customer relationship management] CRM –
how do you make sure to keep the relationship with the second owner.
That’s going to be important as well. [Many] connected car services will
be provided for free because OEMs and dealerships want information
to increase aftermarket services. That’s where the big volumes are. I can
imagine all manner of business models will be used to some extent, but I
think it will be [mainly] initial vehicle price and some sort of a pay-as-you-
go model. And [here] I can see navigation or traffic information as one
good option. … All of our customers are looking into more sophisticated
functionality in subscription and service management.

}} Marc Necker, Manager Augmented Reality, Daimler AG:
Initial vehicle price and annual payments will be the payment methods
in the automotive market. I don’t see pay-as-you-go as becoming too
important. The initial vehicle price will be one major thing because
people will expect that their cars can do certain things. And then there
is the annual fee for certain services. This could also be a monthly fee.
Personally, I don’t believe there is much of a difference between a
monthly and annual fee. [About pay-as-you-go,] I don’t believe that’s
what customers want to have in the vehicle. They are used to the vehicle
working the same every day. I also don’t think it’s a desirable [solution] for
car manufacturers. It involves too much overhead. And you have to install
tracking and billing systems that track every usage of the system. It could
be an option for very specific services like music, for example, but even
there people expect a flat rate these days. Maybe for a video rental service,
if you want your kids to watch a video, but then it’s hard to say if this is still
a connected car service.
}} Pavan Mathew, Global Head of Connected car, Telefónica Digital:
If you look at some of the mid- to higher-segment vehicles – this would
be BMW, Mercedes, Audi – I think there you are going to have value-
added services that customers [will buy]. They will say,‘Oh, that’s available.
Yes, go ahead and include that.’They are a little less price-sensitive, and
you can develop services that appeal to them. If you look at mass-market
vehicles like Volkswagen or Opel, I think services are going to be priced
in. If you think about what airbags and power windows are [to the car
engineering space, in the telematics space] it will be eCall, it will be
standard diagnostics, and I think it will be mobile phone integration.

Who will harvest the most data from connected cars?
}} Roger Lanctot, associate director, Strategy Analytics:
IT companies. They will play a central role in capturing and managing that
data, IBM, Oracle, these kinds of organizations. Carriers will certainly touch
all the data. It will come through the carriers. But the lowest common
denominator for all data will be the IT provider.
}} Michael Schraut, project manager, ConnectedDrive, BMW Group:
OEMs, of course, have the most opportunity to get data. Telematics
solution providers? I am not sure about them. They are usually somewhere
on the back end. Yes, we send data to telematics solution providers,
such as traffic data collected by our own cars. Telecom companies do a
lot of things [as well.] Again, traffic information is also measured by the
movement of cellular phones. But we have to be careful that we don’t do
anything the consumer might not like.
}} Martin Rosell, managing director, WirelessCar:
Dealerships and OEMs, and you cannot mutually exclude them. They
are the same thing. OEMs can never get what they need without the
dealership being involved, and vice versa, because the dealership owns
the customer, and the OEM controls the product. This is about the
combination of CRM and VRM, customer relationship management and
vehicle relationship management. … There are also some really neat
examples of telecom companies taking advantage of this data and using it
for a lot of value-added services. But will they be allowed to do that [in the
automotive space]? No, not at all. This is about data integrity – who owns
the data, what can you do with the data. There are laws and regulations
about that.

}} Marc Necker, manager augmented reality, Daimler AG:
I could imagine that the premium manufacturers like BMW, Mercedes
or Audi will try to avoid working with telematics solution providers. And
those car manufacturers that want to have a cheap, off-the-shelf solution
will work with telematics solution providers because it’s too expensive for
them to build up their own systems. Dealerships are only 2% here, and I
believe that dealerships will harvest more data. When you go and have
a car serviced, all the diagnostic data will go to the dealership and will
be harvested there. I think dealerships are underrepresented here, and
telecom companies are overrepresented.
}} Pavan Mathew, global head of connected car, Telefónica Digital:
I would say it’s the OEMs. They decide what data needs to be
communicated to a mechanic, what’s readable [to whom]. … But not all
OEMs are going to find the data valuable or spend the resources/have the
people to spend a whole lot of time thinking about how to monetize that
data. [For mobile network operators,] there is some value there [as well] in
the sense that once you have usage data, you can much better develop
bundles of services [tailored to] how services are consumed, where they
are consumed, etc. If you look outside the industry, cable operators are
very good at bundling services. For the life of me, I can’t get my cable
bill under $100 a month. And I think telcos are too. Clearly, there is an
opportunity for us to learn how the vehicles are used, learn how some
of these services are consumed, when, how much, where. I think that’s
where we can benefit. [But the OEMs will remain in control] because, at
the end, it’s the OEMs that bear the risk of how the data is used. In Europe,
especially in Germany right now, there is a whole lot of sensitivity around
how data is being used. A misstep by anyone carries a lot of risk.
