Self-drive car and Smart Security
This document summarizes a presentation on the future of autonomous vehicles and how cloud technology will transform the driving experience. The key points are: - Autonomous vehicles could eliminate 99% of car crash deaths by taking human error out of driving. - The mobile cloud will be integral to connecting all vehicles and enhancing safety features like augmented reality for lane changing and calling emergency services if the driver is incapacitated. - Infrastructure like smart grids and traffic/weather updates optimized through the cloud will improve the driving experience and save time and fuel. - First responders could benefit from testing new technologies over LTE networks that provide real-time video, facial recognition, vehicle tracking and multimedia collaboration to enhance emergency response

Editor's Notes
- #5 Will save $200 – $300-billion annually in US alone
- #6 It is capturing every single thing that it sees moving -- cars, trucks, birds, rolling balls, dropped cigarette butts, and fusing all that together to make its decisions while driving. If it sees a cigarette butt, it knows a person might be creeping out from between cars. If it sees a rolling ball it knows a child might run out from a driveway.
- #10 Newspapers - 480 m daily Personal computers - 1.1 b Phones - 1.2 b land-line Internet users - 1.4 b The drive to communicate is such a strong urge, that we could call it a “compulsion”. Look at the numbers, about the rise of ‘portable communications’. People want to stay plugged in! Mobile subscribes bigger than newspapers, PCs, phones, and Internet users – combined!!
- #11 lane departure warning system now common on some new luxury cars or other upscale vehicles. This system typically relies on satellite signals to help keep a car traveling in a safe path.
- #14 91 percent of respondents said they would love to see a lane-change, blind-spot warning system in their cars. And, 83 percent said they would like in-vehicle technologies that would automatically call a tow truck when the car breaks down. Nearly three-quarters said theyd’ like technology that would stop their car if the driver suffers a heart attack or other sudden illness. That’s about as far from Angry Birds as you can get.
- #15 group of vehicles during the same visit can connect each other along their journey. With the help of recognition on the main website, users can come to see their fellow travelers. They can also observe vehicle telemetry which includes track each vehicle, map routes, fuel level and speed, intimation about the alerts along the way and can also provide about conditions of the road and other perils which they may experience along their way.
- #18 Narrowband systems will remain the platform of choice for mission-critical voice needs for a few more years. BUT: LTE will support a wide range of existing and emerging high-bandwidth applications such as streaming video, advanced situational awareness, and PTT voice-over-broadband features
- #19 As National Guard, fire, police and other military and civil first responders begin to stabilize a region in the wake of a natural or manmade disaster, they face challenges in coordinating their efforts using standard UHF or VHF radio communications. Reacting to these challenges during the 2007 wildfires in southern California, enterprising first responder groups successfully used their personal cell phones to improve communications interoperability. What if we could expand on this germ of an idea, leveraging the power of 3G wireless devices to include not just voice, but imagery, location, and other data? The resulting system could provide responder teams and commanders with critical multimedia, street level imagery, or even biometrics for identification or medical status, significantly improving situation awareness and a common operational picture with maps and coordinates of personnel, victims, and threats. The capabilities of 3G systems, and the portent that 4G network bandwidth will rival cable and DSL performance, strongly suggests that smart cellular phones — which continue to get smarter by the day — are potential disruptive alternatives to legacy UHF and VHF radios. In the course of disaster relief, a first responder’s personal performance, safety, and team coordination greatly improves with knowledge of his or her surroundings. Likewise when field commanders have a comprehensive view and location of personnel, victims, equipment, resources, and physical damage, and when they can see the evolution of events, or potential threats in a Common Operational Picture (COP), they can respond more capably and in less time. Today, Google Maps and Google Earth are used as a framework for very complex military command control and intelligence systems. The integration of such applications with a relational data base and data mining applications can provide an extremely rich operational picture for military, government, or commercial use. The application of 3G cellular technology to support homeland defense, disaster relief, or military operations is transformational, with the clear potential to displace the use of tactical radio systems. At the handset level there is a clear confluence of high bandwidth wireless technology, computing, software applications, and multimedia. This confluence is revolutionizing a broad component of how we conduct our lives in so many areas, such as personal communications, entertainment, shared experiences, shopping, business management, and education.
