CONNECTED CARS, CLOUD AND CYBERSECURITY

AMAZON WEB SERVICES (AWS) SHARES INSIGHTS INTO WHY CLOUD IS VITAL IN ENABLING THE SECURE AND SEAMLESS DEPLOYMENT OF AUTONOMOUS CARS.

Autonomous or self-driving cars will make driving safer, smarter and more efficient. Equipped with internet connections, often wireless local area networks enables self-driving cars to speak to each other and the environment around them. One feature allows the cars to keep their distance and synchronize braking to avoid accidents. Autonomous cars will include features such as lane assist, collision avoidance and automatic calls to emergency services to create a safer driving experience. Some automotive brands are taking automation a step further, innovating to enable vehicles to communicate with nearby infrastructure and even pedestrians, adding a new dimension to how automation can benefit society.

AWS believes that the right technology infrastructure is critical for the production of these vehicles, which require high-performance computing capacity, seamless cybersecurity, and the ability to manage vast data sets. Here are some of the key reasons why many organisations are turning to the cloud to develop and deploy autonomous cars at scale:
