The Networked Car

This month we invite our Autotech Council and Telecom Council communities to explore everything connectivity from WiFi, 5G, and satellite to V2V, V2x, pedestrian safety and city infrastructure. Join us for the latest in this segment from from analysts, telcos, vendors and startups innovating in this segment.

This 1/2 day agenda focuses on the rapidly evolving world of the Networked Car. For years, the segment centered on “The Connected Car”, and the massive innovation provided by basic Wi-Fi or even cellular links, primarily coming from electric vehicles. Today, however, the landscape has dramatically transformed.

The "Networked Car" now encompasses a layered stack of connections – starting within the vehicle itself, to between vehicles, to the infrastructure such as cities or EV chargers, to the cloud, and even to the power grid. And these widely practical connections are reshaping the owner experience for all new vehicles, not just EVs.

This meeting reflects this broadened scope, exploring the diverse wired and wireless networks critical to modern automotive design and function.

The pace of innovation in this sector is staggering, driven by demands for enhanced safety, convenience, features, efficiency, and new business models. Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication, a cornerstone technology enabling vehicles to interact with their environment, is experiencing explosive growth. The V2X market is projected to surge from USD 1.2 billion in 2023 to USD 10.1 billion by 2028, expanding at a compound annual growth rate of 52.7% [Source: MarketsandMarkets]. This expansion highlights the industry's shift towards greater interconnectivity, bringing both immense opportunities and significant challenges related to bandwidth, latency, cybersecurity, and data management.

To navigate these exciting developments, we invite you to our upcoming meeting, hosted in Milpitas by our friends at Rohde & Schwarz, a provider of test and measurement equipment vital for developing and verifying the complex communication technologies within networked cars.

Autotech Council meetings provide a high-level understanding of the cutting edge startups in an automotive sector. We'll feature insightful, brief presentations from leading innovators, dynamic startups, and growing scale-ups who are developing the next generation of networked vehicle technologies. Expect to see relevant, impactful new solutions on topics such as:

• Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) Communication, including Cellular V2X
• The evolution of Cellular V2X leveraging 5G and future wireless standards
• Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite integration for ubiquitous connectivity
• Secure and efficient Over-the-Air (OTA) updates for software and firmware
• Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) communication and integration

• Advanced In-Car Connectivity and Networks (e.g., Automotive Ethernet, in-car wireless, CAN FD, Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN))
• EV-to-Charger communication protocols and standards
• Fleet Connectivity solutions for enhanced Fleet Management
• Data Collection strategies, monetization, and user privacy considerations
• Cybersecurity measures for connected vehicle ecosystems
• Edge Computing applications within vehicles

Beyond simply learning about the latest technological advancements, this meeting offers invaluable opportunities for connection. It's a unique chance to engage directly with the founders and leaders of the startups pioneering these new solutions. We look forward to seeing you at The Networked Car.

Meeting Format

Our public meetings are open to onsite and online attendee and start with an industry overview followed by an expert panel, and then tech demos and startup pitches. The 4-hour agenda also includes 3 networking breaks and lunch for in-person attendees.

Attendees leave our meetings having learned about the state of innovation, discovered many, game-changing startups, reviewed new technologies, and met industry colleagues who are also moving the needle in vehicle connectivity. Plus, for our onsite attendees, a handful of business cards and interesting lunch conversations.

This meeting is produced by the Autotech Council and we invite the wider Telecom Council community to participate as expert speakers, demo companies, and attendees.

Introduce your product or service to OEMs, Tier1s, and tech scouts. Applications are reviewed and invitations extended based on fit.

Meeting Tables will be available to presenters who wish to demo their product or service to our audience in a private networking space.
