Auto Industry Updates: ENNOVI, GM, ATrack, Privacy4Cars, C2A, and Worksp in Connected Car Development
In the rapidly evolving world of automotive technology, several significant advancements have been made in various areas.
Major automakers are sharing driving data from consumers with insurance firms, including location, speeding, hard braking, and rapid acceleration. This data sharing raises privacy concerns within the Internet of Things (IoT) and could influence owners' insurance premium rates. For instance, GM Onstar Smart Driver users have seen their insurance increase by 20%.
To address these concerns, companies like Vero have partnered with Privacy4Cars to offer Identi-FI, a full-circle solution that protects against personal data abuses in vehicles. Identi-FI provides peace-of-mind vehicle data deletion and ID theft recovery. Auto dealers within the Identi-FI program will receive Privacy4Cars' AutoCleared™ and Vehicle Privacy Report™. AutoCleared™ is a robust vehicle data deletion process that removes personal information from every pre-owned vehicle on a dealership's lot.
Meanwhile, advancements in connector technology are also making waves. ENNOVI has introduced ENNOVI-Net, a customizable Automotive Ethernet connector solution supporting 10Gbps operation. ENNOVI-Net connector designs have a standardized USCAR interface and use press-fit pins instead of through-board solder pins, resulting in a simpler and faster assembly process with a lower risk of errors. Companies like Audi, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz have integrated the ENNOVI-Net solution into their final applications.
The focus of these advancements is on elevating location tracking precision and detecting harsh driving or dangerous behaviors. ATrack Technology Inc. unveiled innovations in AI-powered dash cams and telematics box solutions at CAEV Expo 2024.
On the performance front, GaN semiconductors are offering superior performance, increased efficiency, and reduced size and weight compared to conventional solutions. Worksport Ltd. is integrating Gallium Nitride (GaN) semiconductors into its upcoming product offerings.
In the realm of cybersecurity, VinCSS Cyber Security Services Joint Stock Company announced a joint project with C2A Security to incorporate C2A Security's automated risk management platform into its security platform.
Lastly, it's worth noting that several automakers, including Ford, Honda, and Hyundai, share data with Verisk, while Kia, Mitsubishi, and Subaru submit data to LexisNexis.
These advancements are shaping the future of the automotive industry, offering improved safety, efficiency, and privacy protection for consumers.
