EditorialFrom Metal on Wheels to Computers on WheelsThe vehicles hitting the roads today are smarter, intelligent, and automated. Manufacturers are largely concentrating on eradicating the traditional waterfall approaches to offer consumers much more than metal on four wheels. With cars becoming movable computers, the dynamics are expected to change radically in the next 15 years. One of the recent disruptions observed in the automotive sector is automated driving. From handing over guidance to a vehicle to intensifying the experience of driving, automation is significantly empowering the drivers. Together with sensors and cluster intelligence, the superior driver assistance systems are replacing the rearview mirror with camera systems and allowing automated vehicles to see around the corners.As the globe foresees a future with autonomous vehicles (AVs), LiDAR continues to serve as the hot-bed for such innovations. Although being incorporated into some exiting L2/L3 vehicles, the role of LiDAR is considered critical for L5/L6 operations. From gaining complete control over the vehicle to driver assistance, LiDAR empowers drivers with predictive capabilities for a personalised driving experience. Besides, LiDAR is also expected to enhance the productivity and ROI of automotive firms.Furthermore, by successfully blending technologies like AI, machine learning, and big data, manufacturers are setting up algorithms that accept voice commands, allow comprehensive vehicle tracking, and establish vehicle-to-vehicle communication. In addition to these lean and agile methods, the yet another frontier paving the way for innovations is Industry 4.0 that drives the shift from single-provider to one that lingers around integrated technology providers.In this edition of CIO Applications Europe, we bring you the story of some of the most promising automotive solution providers that have proved their mettle in delivering the best outcomes for their clients.
