261What will the car of the future look like? Will the cars that appear in sci-fi works "Batman", "Back to the Future" and "Knight Rider" that can drive autonomously, warn the road in advance, and communicate with the driver will become a reality? With the further development of science and technology, more and more advanced information and communication technologies have been integrated into all aspects of our lives, and cars are becoming more and more intelligent. With the powerful M2M (Machine-to-Machine) technology, many functions have been implemented in the real world. Let's take a look at the cutting-edge automotive trends.
Intelligent remote communication
In a sci-fi TV series "Knight Rider" in the 1980s, a sci-fi sports car named KITT won the favor of many sci-fi fans with its amazing nanosecond response speed and super storage capacity of "1000MB". . Today, in-vehicle SIM cards have given smart cars on the market the "core" of wisdom. Through driving data back to car manufacturers, efficient data analysis provides drivers with real-time feedback to improve their driving experience, and allows manufacturers to better understand driver needs and help them improve future models.
Speech Recognition
In the "Batman" and "Back to the Future" series of movies, the Batmobile, which is capable of complex and intelligent dialogue, has earned all the attention. Although the current smart cars have not yet reached such a level of complex communication, today's connected cars can already understand voice commands, helping drivers to abandon cumbersome query methods such as radios and maps, and more effectively and comprehensively understand the road conditions in a timely and effective manner. This intelligent dialogue technology allows the car to understand the verbal commands issued by the driver, and transmit the voice transmission to cloud computing systems such as Apple's Siri and Microsoft's Cortana through the 4G connection. After analysis and processing, the car can make appropriate actions. response.
Anti-drowsiness function
Audio alarms in modern safety systems have been able to remind the driver to avoid fatigued driving. The camera embedded in the car can track the driver's eye movement and gaze position, thereby monitoring the driver's concentration. If the camera detects that the driver's line of sight has deviated from the road, or closed his eyes completely, it will trigger an audio alarm to wake him up to prevent accidents.
Emergency Response
With Internet of Vehicles technology, if an accident occurs, on-board sensors can detect the scale, direction, and damage of the vehicle when the vehicle is involved in an accident. After determining the severity of a car collision, the system can automatically issue emergency service alerts and provide vehicle location, thereby increasing the speed of accident rescue response. The eCall initiative promoted by the European Union is representative in this regard.
In China, this year a company chose XXX's M2M solution to integrate in its remote monitoring terminal (T-Box) for the Internet of Vehicles. The solution includes Cinterion® AGS2 module and MIM, which smoothly integrates the body network with the cellular network. T-box has the characteristics of being durable under extreme conditions such as high temperature, high pressure and vibration. It can inform the driver of vehicle conditions such as oil pressure, vehicle speed, and engine status, and provide information on nearby gas stations or convenience stores. If the car breaks down or has an accident, it can automatically trigger an emergency call (eCall) to seek assistance and medical help.
Intelligent driving experience
In-vehicle communication is currently the largest application market for M2M and has a very broad market prospect. The vehicle-mounted communication system is composed of communication and information systems, including navigation, traffic information, and life and entertainment information. It can also integrate geographic information systems to construct a more comprehensive information network.
Along with the emerging LTE technology, Gemalto’s comprehensive Cinterion M2M technology has also been applied to the field of smart cars. The “Audi Connect” customized solution jointly launched with Audi can provide ultra-high-speed LTE and high-bandwidth connections, and support one A series of advanced services and functions enrich the modern mobile lifestyle and enhance the intelligent driving experience of drivers and passengers.
It is foreseeable that M2M technology will cooperate with the growing automobile manufacturing industry to help manufacturers better understand market needs and provide drivers with real-time and comprehensive driving services and guarantees. In this industrial revolution that changes the way of driving, M2M will open up a broader road to the future, making the concept of "fully realizing car interconnection" gradually become a reality, making the driving experience easier and more fun.
