Your own car – that used to be a great promise of freedom. Climb into your car and go wherever you like, on your own terms. And do it all in private: with your partner or your family. This image of the car still exists – yet slowly, a new one is taking its place. Cars have now become highly connected, high-performance machines that constantly record, measure, and monitor their surroundings. In a way, the manufacturer is virtually in the driver’s seat, through hundreds of sensors, microphones, cameras, and also devices connected to the car, such as your smartphone and the vehicle’s app. And in the future, cars are expected to become even more independent – for example, capable of driving fully “autonomously.” This shift from mechanically driven to software-driven vehicles requires one thing above all: data. That’s why, in the fourth episode of ShareCast, we discuss the present and future of connected cars, their insatiable appetite for data, and the latest approaches to data management currently being explored in the automotive industry.
