The connected and autonomous driving vehicles market is driving the evolution of the vehicular industry and is growing at an eight-year compound annual growth rate of 22.3%, i.e., 5 times faster than the overall car market. The business opportunity for connected vehicles is significant, with the global market expected to grow to over $212 billion by 2027.
WBA’s latest white paper, “Wi-Fi Opportunities for Connected Vehicles – Demand for Data and Multi-Access Edge Computing”, evaluates the data exchange requirements for enabling the various connected vehicle use cases, irrespective of the choice of the communication technology and the spectrum band to be used, re-enforcing the need for multi-access edge computing architectures for connected vehicles. The gaps and opportunities for Wi-Fi in such architectures are analyzed and the WBA’s potential role in addressing them is outlined.
