The FISITA Japanese Autonomous HW and SW Technology Cluster issues its first Paper on the Challenges with enhancing the automated driving and assisted driving services of the future, in English and Japanese version.

For the first time in FISITA’s history we are very pleased to offer technical content to our membership community in different languages!

This Paper includes some fascinating insights into the challenges and opportunities of automated driving and assisted driving services, from a group of technologists comprising vehicle manufacturers and tier 1 suppliers, participating in the FISITA Autonomous HW & SW Technology Cluster in Japan.

This Paper summarises the results of the discussion which looked at the following:

• The benefits that high-speed, high-capacity communication systems bring to autonomous driving / driving support functions.

• Information and data analysis via the cloud that cannot be achieved by a car alone.

• Utilizing the data captured by cars, to support driving, and improve daily life and contribute to solving social issues in the future.

Background

The FISITA Industry Committee, consisting of senior representatives from the FISITA Corporate Membership, have identified key technology areas (see right for some of these areas) in which knowledge sharing and discussion can help highlight and potentially accelerate the adoption of new solutions by the mainstream automotive industry.

FISITA is creating dedicated Technology Clusters around each of these areas that determine their own scope, meeting cadence and target deliverables. Last year, an Autonomous Hardware & Software Technology Cluster was created in Japan, and the group have been working together, under the leadership of Toyota and NTT to produce this technical knowledge share, for the benefit of the international connected community of FISITA.
