There’s a great deal of effort underway on the part of companies in the telecom, auto and technology industries to start mainstreaming connected, self-driving cars by the early-to-mid 2020s. ABI Research forecasts there will be more than 11 million shared vehicles operating by 2030, serving an average of 64 users per shared driverless vehicle. Early […]
In politics, the principle of subsidiarity is an organizing principle that recommends handling matters at the most immediate or local level consistent with their resolution, rather than rely on a centralized authority. How do these apply to decision-making in autonomous vehicles (AVs)? I would argue that edge computing – essentially, decentralized decision-making — will increase […]
The DXC Technology 600 was held on Saturday, June 9, under the lights of the Texas Motor Speedway. Scott Dixon took the checkered flag even though about 3,000 local DXC employees, clients, family, and friends were cheering for the DXC-sponsored car, driven by Simon Pagenaud, who finished 2nd. But this race had a lot more […]
The race to build fully autonomous cars has gone into hyperdrive, with major carmakers such as GM, Daimler, BMW and Audi promising SAE Level 5 autonomous driving by sometime in 2021. Goldman Sachs predicts that robo taxis will grow the ride-hailing and sharing business from $5 billion in revenue today to $285 billion by 2030. […]
In the automotive industry, the challenges of designing, building, selling and updating a product has become more about software than steel, and all roads lead to digital-driven product lifecycle management (PLM). Perhaps no industry is undergoing more transformation than the automotive industry, with customers demanding personalization, connectivity, self-driving features and entertainment centers. In response, carmakers […]
Top decision-makers from the automotive industry gathered in Germany at the 10th AutomotiveIT Congress to network and share experiences, and to glean fresh insights about the IT challenges and opportunities they’re facing as they navigate their organizations’ digital transformations. DXC’s Automotive Center of Excellence was featured at the conference, held March 22 in Berlin. In […]
Artificial intelligence (AI) will certainly impact manufacturing jobs. Rather than making people obsolete, I believe that AI will make many manufacturing jobs more meaningful. The McKinsey Global Institute estimates that while 64% of manufacturing work has the potential to be automated, only about 5% of all occupations consist of activities that are fully automatable. This implies that, in […]
La trasformazione digitale dell’industria automobilistica è stata incredibilmente radicale, sia sulla strada, con nuove auto piene di gadget tecnologici, sia in fabbrica, dove l’Internet of Things, la robotica e l’intelligenza artificiale hanno reso più efficiente il modo in cui vengono prodotte le automobili. Ma ancora più importante di questi cambi ovvi, è il fatto che […]
La transformación digital de la industria de automoción ha sido increíblemente dramática, tanto en la carretera por dotar a los coches de los últimos accesorios tecnológicos, como en las fábricas, donde el Internet de las Cosas, la robótica y la inteligencia artificial han añadido claras eficiencias de producción. Aparte de los desarrollos más obvios, las […]
La transformation digitale du secteur automobile est spectaculaire, dans ses deux facettes. Sur la route, d’une part, avec de nouveaux modèles équipés d’accessoires technologiques. Dans les usines, d’autre part, où l’Internet des objets, la robotique et l’intelligence artificielle ne cessent d’améliorer la production des véhicules. Les tendances de consommation évoluent également : les conducteurs sont à la […]
