Autonomous cars, trucks, shuttles, taxis and other vehicles are in the early stages of testing and still are largely functioning at level 3 or lower. Many years of development are still required to enable any mass deployment of level 4 or 5 autonomy. Niche applications are starting to emerge such as Tu-Simple and Voyage.
Intel predicts that during today’s normal use (1.5 hours per day) an autonomous vehicle will generate 4 Terabytes of data. Connectivity is playing an essential role in enabling the next generation of Transportation.
