TaaS Magazine: AUTONOMOUS Cars and Data Management - Bridgeworks

There are many predictions about connected and autonomous vehicles, some of them suggesting that fully autonomous, levels 4 and 5 vehicles will begin to become commonplace on public roads from 2025. A study by Vynz Research says the global connected and autonomous vehicle market size was 17.7 million units in 2019; and it predicts that this will reach 51.2 million units by 2025 – a compound growth rate of 17.1% during the period of 2020 to 2025.At present, most vehicles aren't fully autonomous, yet still increasingly rely upon data to operate. With their emergence will be a growth in data. Rich Miller writes in his article for Data Center Frontier, 'Rolling Zettabytes: Quantifying the Data Impact of Connected Cars': "The Automotive Edge Computing Consortium (AECC) is working to help stakeholders understand the infrastructure requirements for connected cars. At Edge Computing World, AECC board member, Vish Nandlall, outlined the group's findings on the volume of data created by autonomous cars and the challenges they will create."
