This morning, we came across some news from the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), that has us pretty excited about the future of Volvo and autonomous vehicles.
In an effort to ensure that passengers can experience interruption-free media in their self-driving Volvo vehicles, the automaker is partnering with Ericsson to develop intelligent, high-bandwidth streaming capabilities. Using Ericsson's network and cloud expertise, Volvo seeks to be able to analyze a passenger's route and look ahead at network conditions in order to tailor content for the duration of each trip.
Anders Tylman, General Manager Volvo Monitoring & Concept Center at Volvo Car Group, spoke enthusiastically about the project, saying: “We recently unveiled our design vision for fully autonomous cars with Concept 26. Now we are actively working on future solutions to deliver the best user experience in fully autonomous mode. Imagine a highway full of autonomous cars with their occupants sitting back watching their favorite TV shows in high definition. This new way of commuting will demand new technology, and a much broader bandwidth to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience."
