5 Autonomous Cars Trends Everyone Should Know About In 2019Bernard Marr
Autonomous cars are coming. Even if we might not have completely self-driving cars on all our roads by 2019, there are some important trends that map out the path of autonomous driving. Here we look at the key ones.
There are great expectations around the future of autonomous vehicles (AVs) and equally much uncertainty. Some believe that AVs will transform safety and efficiency and are making significant investments in this area. Others are concerned that the technological developments are outpacing society’s ability to adapt, and there is an urgent requirement to develop better regulation before there is widespread deployment. A global Open Foresight project exploring the key issues for the future of AVs is being undertaken by Future Agenda. Expert workshops around the world are building the informed view.
This project was kicked-off with a global review of the emerging landscape for autonomous vehicles. As well looking at the historical context for self-driving cars and trucks, this initial perspective explores the benefits of AVs; different issues for the movement of people vs. goods; the three primary drivers of adoption and the primary centres for innovation. It also includes commentary on the parallel developments in seaborne and air-based autonomous vehicles. It ends with some of the key questions to be explored by the project.

With increasingly autonomous capabilities and a declining interest in ownership, the auto industry needs to focus on in-transit innovation, purpose-driven design and a transition to a service-based business model.
Autonomous Driving (AD) has been said to be the next big disruptive innovation in the years to come. Considered as being predominantly technology driven, it is supposed to have massive societal impact in areas such as insurance, laws and regulations, logistics, automotive industry as well as all types of transportation methods, not only expected to have an enormous environmental and economic effect but also offer the possibility of saving millions of lives worldwide.
HYVE Science Labs, in cooperation with the Technical University Hamburg-Harburg and INSIUS have developed the unique worldwide study “Autonomous Driving: The User Perspective” focused on the customer view and acceptance of Autonomous Driving. The study analyses 106,305 comments on Autonomous Driving publicly posted in English on the Internet, finding a more positive than negative attitude towards this new technology in contrast to the most renowned surveys in the field. The focus was placed in the understanding of customer acceptance, a topic that until now under an Autonomous Driving context is limited. While a survey with more than 200 experts on autonomous vehicles by the IEEE (2014), the world's largest professional association for the advancement of technology, defines that the three biggest obstacles to reach the mass adoption of driverless cars are legal liability, policymakers and customer acceptance. Therefore it is essential to start understanding and integrating customers in order to build deep and meaningful customer insights which can be used to deliver the products they want and need. Furthermore it is important to understand the wants and needs of future users and who will the early adopters will be. They will influence how technologies evolve and if they provide enough benefits to reach the early majority.
Innovative Web Monitoring Technologies, User Generated Content (UGC) and the method of Innovation Mining were used within an Autonomous Driving context to understand user’s debate on the Internet. UGC is characterized by extensive volunteering effort, lack of central control and freedom of expression, while creating a basis for identifying and understanding opinions, desires, tastes, needs and decision-making influences of customers in a passive non-intrusive manner. UGC is perceived as being impartial and unbiased, while giving the chance to understand needs and doubts of the potential customers, as well as the used language within a certain topic. The method of Innovation Mining presented below reflects the process from the search for the UGC until the possible visualization and interpretation of the gained information.

Autonomous Vehicles ("AVs" - sometimes referred to as “self-driving” or “driverless” cars) are developing
rapidly and we are getting an increasing number of questions from investors about what they will mean for
the auto industry. The excitement around AVs is understandable – 'newcomers' like Google are making bold
claims for their AVs, existing OEMs are demonstrating fast-improving prototypes and suppliers are arguing
that they can exploit this new opportunity. People are beginning to ask if AVs are going to fundamentally
disrupt the conventional auto industry.
Disruptive Trends That Will Transform The Automotive IndustryStradablog
Technology-driven trends will revolutionize how industry players respond to changing consumer behavior, develop partnerships, and drive transformational change.
Automotive companies have started to respond to changing customer buying behavior by piloting new online business models. However, most current initiatives are still removed from what customers expect.
Autonomous vehicles: Plotting a route to the driverless futureAccenture Insurance
How will roadways dominated by high or fully automated vehicles impact future industries, economies and populations? What shifts in leverage and underlying business models are imminent? What new pathways for ecosystem innovation might arise from the data explosion that comes with AV proliferation?
The answers to these questions can be revealed by examining the immediate impact of AV adoption on three industry segments: automotive sales and service; logistics and supply chains; and auto insurance.
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.
Global autonomous vehicle market size is projected to reach around US$ 200.31 Billion by 2030. The dream of seeing fleets of driverless cars efficiently delivering people to their destinations has captured consumers' imaginations and fuelled billions of dollars in investment in recent years.
No Hands: The Autonomous Future of TruckingCognizant

Interview: What is the main security and privacy risks associated with the ad...Ersin KARA
worldautomotiveconference.co.uk
"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."

Autonomous cars self-driving cars-driverless cars market 2020 to 2030Chandan Chaudhary
The Autonomous cars/Self-Driving Cars/Driverless Cars Market report offers a deep analysis of the Market Research Industry. It demonstrates a rapid summary of industry data and a key catalog of the market. The report highlights well-known performers from the Autonomous cars/Self-Driving Cars/Driverless Cars Market beside contribution to the market vocation progress within the estimated time. KACSK Market Research Report covers recent improvements while predicting the expansion of the players of the market.
Below is the detailed list of some of the major investments in the run of driverless technology
1. Ford $1 billion investment in Argo AI
2. Toyota Research Institute $1 billion
3. Uber purchased Otto for $680 million
4. GM acquired CRUZE AUTOMATION for $580 million
5. Intel to buy Mobileye for $15.3 billion
6. GM invests $500 million in LYFT- drive sharing startup
7. VOLVO and Uber $300 million JV
8. Hyundai $1.7 billion R & D
9. Intel $250 million in driverless AI tech.
The past five years have been good to the auto industry. Following a cyclical downturn and a series of bankruptcies and harsh restructurings in the wake of the 2008–09 financial crisis, U.S. vehicle sales have been strong, especially for highly profitable trucks and SUVs. Globally, automobiles have grown more attractive than ever, with all kinds of exciting new technologies — impressive powertrain systems, mobile connectivity, advanced driver-assistance systems, maintenance monitoring, and the like — further exciting car buyers.
In the eyes of many in the industry, the future looks equally bright. Oil and gas prices appear likely to remain reasonably low for some time, encouraging big-margin SUV sales. The technology inside autos will continue to grow more sophisticated and affordable.
Automakers feel confident investing large sums of money in developing new features for their cars, particularly advanced safety and navigation options. Many suspect that they can make fully autonomous vehicles (AVs), machines that can drive themselves anywhere, under any traffic and weather conditions, without a human ever having to take the wheel, a reality within a relatively short time, as little as five or 10 years. That, in turn, would open huge new markets, it is hoped, as buyers — large fleets as well as individuals — flock to driverless vehicles and associated services.
There is much truth in the vision of fully autonomous vehicles. Certainly, there will come a time when commuters can relax, eat breakfast, and write emails on the way to work as their robotic taxis transport them on algorithmically chosen routes in perfect safety. But as the recent fatal crash of a Tesla in semi-autonomous mode sadly made clear, it will probably take decades, not years, for this vision to become a common reality.
With the advancement in automobile technology, vehicles are now autonomous and more connected with our mobile devices than ever. Insurance companies around the world are more and more attracted to the concept of Pay How You Drive (PHYD). Today, in the motor insurance space, there are more than 165 deployments across 35 countries, representing approximately 5 million policies. The growth is exciting and promising.
This article outlines how PHYD can encourage better driving behavior and also suggest an effective solution that has the potential to reduce claims cost/ policy administration and price policies more effectively.
Similar to Ten ways autonomous driving could redefine the automotive world (20)
Human drivers have always been an essential requirement in the operation of a motor vehicle. At the same
time, research has repeatedly demonstrated that driver error plays a role in more than 90% of road crashes
(NHTSA 2008; Blanco et al. 2016). As such, in the past two decades, vehicle manufacturers have designed new
and increasingly sophisticated features that provide more assistance to drivers to help mitigate such errors. Such
features are an important precursor to the development of automated vehicles and, currently, expectations are
high that the advent of semi- or fully- automated vehicles will dramatically reduce road crashes
The race is on
Clearly, Canadian executives are feeling that the race is on; but it remains to be seen whether they act quickly enough and with the right focus to effectively transform and evolve. Among our findings:
75 percent of CEOs agree that the next three years will be more critical to their industry than the previous 50 years;
74 percent of CEOs believe their company will remain largely the same in the next 3 years;
98 percent are concerned about the loyalty of customers;
13 percent feel confident that they are fully prepared for a cyber-event.

Ten ways autonomous driving could redefine the automotive world
1. Ten ways autonomous
driving could redefine the
automotive world
The development of self-driving, or autonomous, vehicles
is accelerating. Here’s how they could affect consumers
and companies.
Autonomous vehicles (AVs) represent a major innovation for the automotive industry, but
their potential impact with respect to timing, uptake, and penetration remains hazy. While high
levels of uncertainty currently surround the issue, the ultimate role that AVs could play
regarding the economy, mobility, and society as a whole could be profound. In an effort to look
beyond today’s rapidly changing predictions on AV penetration, we interviewed more than 30
experts across Europe, the United States, and Asia and combined these findings with our
insights to arrive at ten thought-provoking potential implications of self-driving cars.
The widespread use of AVs could profoundly affect a variety of industry sectors. To explore
these implications in depth, we focused on three time horizons of AV diffusion: before such
vehicles are commercially available to individual buyers, when they are in the early stage of
adoption, and when they become the primary means of transport (exhibit).
Era one: AVs not yet available to consumers
1. Industrial fleets lead the way.
While it’s unlikely that any on-road vehicles will feature “fully autonomous” drive technology in
the short term (for instance, by 2020–22), AVs are already a reality in selected applications that
feature controlled environments, such as mining and farming. In these cases, the restricted
nature of operations and the possibility to operate on private roads facilitate adoption. Some of
the benefits of autonomy in these fields include labor-cost savings and the reduction in carbon
dioxide (CO2) emissions through optimized driving (shown to cut emissions by as much as 60
percent). Other adjacent equipment applications—for example, in the construction and
warehousing sectors—should see the next AV applications for vehicles such as excavators,
forklifts, and loaders.

In the medium term (through 2040), on-highway trucks will likely be the first vehicles to feature
the full technology on public roads. Prototypes already exist, and companies are currently
developing the software algorithms needed to handle complex driving situations. Long-term
automated commercial fleets might include vehicles for parcel delivery as well as automated
drones, which multiple players are already field-testing.
2. Car OEMs face a decision.
Automakers worldwide will likely define and communicate their strategic position on AVs in the
next two to three years. We have identified four strategic stances they can assume when
introducing their autonomous-vehicle offerings:

3. New mobility models emerge.
While OEMs are developing autonomous vehicles, a variety of other transport-mobility
innovations are already hitting the road. Many of these take the form of pay-per-use models
such as car sharing, carpooling, “e-hailing” taxi alternatives, and peer-to-peer car rentals.
These plays are attracting investments and seeing impressive growth rates. The e-hailing
model in particular has experienced strong growth given both annual investment funding
and market penetration.
Era two: AVs enter the early-adoption phase
4. The car-service landscape changes.
The proliferation of AVs could represent an opportunity for car OEMs. As of 2014, for example,
roughly 80 percent of the car-service shops in Germany were “independent” from OEMs. Given
the safety-critical nature of AV technologies, customers might strongly prefer strict adherence to
OEM service processes and the use of original service equipment when it comes to maintaining
and repairing AV systems. This could imply a disadvantaged position for independent service
providers unable to afford AV-maintenance systems. Furthermore, our research shows that nearly
60 percent of customers would follow their smart cars’ recommendations for service locations.
Beyond the benefits of a bigger after-sales revenue stream, OEMs will have a strong incentive to
service these vehicles, since regulators could ultimately force them to take on the greatest portion
of the responsibility and risk associated with crashes caused by AV technical failures.
5. Car insurers might shift their business model.
Car insurers have always provided consumer coverage in the event of accidents caused by
human error. With driverless vehicles, auto insurers might shift the core of their business model,
focusing mainly on insuring car manufacturers from liabilities from technical failure of their
AVs, as opposed to protecting private customers from risks associated with human error in
accidents. This change could transform the insurance industry from its current focus on
millions of private consumers to one that involves a few OEMs and infrastructure operators,
similar to insurance for cruise lines and shipping companies.

6. Companies could reshape their supply chains.
AV technologies could help to optimize the industry supply chains and logistics operations of the
future, as players employ automation to increase efficiency and flexibility. AVs in combination
with smart technologies could reduce labor costs while boosting equipment and facility
productivity. What’s more, a fully automated and lean supply chain can help reduce load sizes
and stocks by leveraging smart distribution technologies and smaller AVs.
Era three: AVs go mainstream
7. Drivers have more time for everything.
AVs could free as much as 50 minutes a day for users, who will be able to spend traveling time working,
relaxing, or accessing entertainment. The time saved by commuters every day might add up globally to
a mind-blowing one billion hours—equivalent to twice the time it took to build the Great Pyramid of
Giza. It could also create a large pool of value, potentially generating global digital-media revenues of
€5 billion per year for every additional minute people spend on the mobile Internet while in a car.
8. Parking becomes easier.
AVs could change the mobility behavior of consumers, potentially reducing the need for parking
space in the United States by more than 5.7 billion square meters. Multiple factors would
contribute to the reduction in parking infrastructure. For example, self-parking AVs do not
require open-door space for dropping off passengers when parked, allowing them to occupy
parking spaces that are 15 percent tighter.
9. Accident rates drop.
By midcentury, the penetration of AVs and other ADAS could ultimately cause vehicle crashes in
the United States to fall from second to ninth place in terms of their lethality ranking among
accident types. Today, car crashes have an enormous impact on the US economy. For every
person killed in a motor-vehicle accident, 8 are hospitalized, and 100 are treated and released
from emergency rooms. The overall annual cost of roadway crashes to the US economy was $212
billion in 2012. Taking that year as an example, advanced ADAS and AVs reducing accidents by
up to 90 percent would have potentially saved about $190 billion.
10. AVs accelerate robotics development for consumer applications.
The broad penetration of AVs will likely accelerate the development of robotics for consumer
applications (including humanoid robots), since the two share many technologies. These include
remote advanced sensing, hyperprecise positioning/GPS, image recognition, and advanced artificial
intelligence. In addition to sharing technology, AVs and robots could benefit from using the same
infrastructure, including recharging stations, service centers, and machine-to-machine communication
networks. These commonalities might push multiple players to invest in both applications, as already
shown by the significant investments in robotics made by selected automakers and high-tech players.
