Autonomous Vehicles: Technologies, Economics, and OpportunitiesJeffrey Funk
These slides use concepts from my (Jeff Funk) course entitled analyzing hi-tech opportunities to show how the cost and performance of autonomous vehicles are improving rapidly. LIDAR, other sensors, ICs, and wireless are experiencing rapid improvements that are enabling the overall cost of AVs to fall. For example, the latency of wireless systems is improving rapidly thus enabling vehicles to be controlled with wireless systems. This is also creating many new opportunities in the vehicle industry in the Internet of Things, data analytics, and logistics. The slides include a detailed discussion of AVs in Singapore, a likely early adopter.
I guess everyone have little knowledge about connected car technology as it has been newly introduced to auto industry. This presentation explains some common features of it i.e. Music app, Navigation, Automotive system diagnosis, Bluetooth, Road-side assistance, Hands-free control, Contextual help, Parking help, App manager, 4G Wi-Fi hotspot, ADAS etc. The most demanded features of connected car are the In-car safety features and vehicle-to-vehicle safety features. Check out for details.
Just what is that thing on top of the Google Car? What does adaptive cruise control with lane assist mean? When are these things going to be ready? The answer to these questions and more in a technology overview that unravels just how these vehicles are going to work. Presented at the 2017 D-STOP Symposium.

Hacking your Connected Car: What you need to know NOWKapil Kanugo
Cars these days are 90% controlled by electronics and 10% using mechanics. The average new car already contains around 20 individual processors to monitor and control various functions — everything from the transmission’s shift points to the operation of the defroster — with about 60 megabytes of software code.
Many new cars are as “wired” as a home office — with onboard GPS navigation and wireless communications networks including Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or Internet run on Embedded OS's which run on converged Electronics to control these actions.
What if modern car’s onboard electronics be “hacked” or infected by a computer virus introduced through a wireless device that might corrupt or disable or controlled by a Hacker sitting at home?
The software does come with built in security but this is not enough and there is a need to offer a full Security package along with Car to guarantee Car's security. Life of people is more important than a gadget and people will pay and buy this package with a new car or upgrade to ensure that their car is not hacked by Hackers to malfunction or be used for other pervert interests.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.

Vehicle
• OTA updates do not solve the hardware obsolescence problem; car is
not a disposable device like a phone b/c it is so expensive
• Cheapest to layer on services like Uber and ridesharing
• Long-term we know we need compute in vehicle, but the
business model not settled
• How will Google bring autonomous to market? Will Tesla, will an older
OEM? (First Mover Advantage)
• Regulatory, but also production capability… (can GM face the Inventor’s
Dilemma?)
• How close is autopilot/lane detection to real autonomy?
• How do we do OTA updates for all these CPU’s? How do we upgrade
the stack after the first N years?
• Embedded protocols can be made resilient, but can they be made
secure (see Chrysler Jeep takeover)
• V2X requires standards and government investment/incentives

10. Customer segments define addressable market
The journey to a mass market involves either extending an existing market for new feature (e.g.,
using phone in vehicle for TDI), cannibalizing an existing market (red ocean, above), or creating a
new market (blue ocean). The latter is not defined in terms of a feature set or core value
proposition but might offer a first mover advantage. For the red ocean strategy, approximately
90MM light vehicles (cars) were produced WW last year.
Typical customer segments might include:
• Owner
• Operator/driver – child of
parent (young driver),
business employee
• Shared operator – often a
personal vehicle, too
• Dealer/service operation
• Insurer
• Government (city, state/local)
• (other OEMs or partners)
11. Segmentation by likely customer, matters
• Luxury in US is about 750K vehicles out of
5.3M (14%), high margin for discretionary
features
• Hybrid/EV/hydrogen less than 3% of all
vehicles, often tax subsidies; fuel economy
features
• Ridesharing* (new segment)
• Drives down overall fleet size –
• Special-purpose vehicles (work usage)
• Autonomous (either POV or business)
• Unlicensed at this point
• Undefined segments – V2V and V2I
12. Revenue streams
• Manufacturing the product (vehicle) has margins < 10%
• Raw materials costs
• High legacy labor rates (even with automation)
• Capital-intensive plants (leading to high debt and high days of unsold
inventory/carrying costs)
• R&D not very focused on breakthroughs… low market win rate
• Tiered sales structure (generally low dealership profit margin)
• Lifetime value of customer measured in terms of initial transaction plus
maintenance/parts; $480K for family of 4
• Regulatory restrictions increasing (warranty, country subsidies, lemon
laws, E911, safety testing, insurance), license to sell and are barriers to
entry for some feature sets
Bootstrapping is critical: Value to owner = value received minus cost
• Subscriptions historically have not generated broad replacement revenue
• Need to identify segment early which will pay for the solution development
• Some solution providers will reduce price to near zero as free parking
13. Channels
• OEM sale – big scale, big investment
• Transactional – capability built into car, warranty but no upgrades,
Connected is “free parking”
• Minor subscription channel – OnStar, USB or dealership upgrades
typically, $120 USD/year for insurance policy services
• Traditional aftermarket – low scale, medium investment
• Subscription – hardware fixed, software OTA
• Non-subscription (transactional) – DIY market
• Technology sale – transfer pricing, small investment
• Can blend with traditional aftermarket – needs network
connectivity, access point to vehicle (CAN), usually subscription
• Can be telco (M2M), hi-tech (Google)
Could be free parking for something else like ads, app
builders, etc.
Not all channels are accessible by all interested parties –
OEM’s, suppliers, tech companies
14. Business model questions (partnering)
• What is the core competency of automotive manufacturing OEM’s -- integrators or just
assemblers? How does this reinforce brand recognition/ add to conquest customers?
Do I just buy a startup?
• OEM has pricing power, do they have ability to execute? I can’t be the hardware maker
for Google (who would get the relationship value)! What is the new moat?
• How do I scale connected up to a bigger fleet than traditional segments? Tesla is eating
my luxury segment!
• What about warranty and proactive service notifications? Should the dealership pay for
some of this?
• My main value is performance data & brand, not an incremental subscription – can I sell
the data and maintain privacy?
Automotive OEM
• What do Lyft/Uber look like as service partners to
OEMs? Do I have to buy vehicles to get placement?
• What if my service becomes commoditized like
infotainment? Or swappable aftermarket with a cell
phone?
• Can I stay in business long enough to be a good
partner?
• Do we have to mandate standards for V2V/V2I? Is this like
CAN standardization? Or objective criteria like rollover
testing?
• How do we invest in this, if it truly is a benefit to society –
safety, congestion/health, etc.?
• Could an automotive supplier provide a single unit that works for all OEMs – is
this the only way for V2V/V2I/V2X to work? How to get around transfer
pricing?
• How can we keep the fixed hardware stack useful when product it is embedded
in lasts much longer? Do we have to have a model that spans initial sale plus
aftermarket upgrades?
• Can we switch business model to subscription for effectively a capital purchase?
Will the owner pay for this, or do we need funding from elsewhere in the
business model?

“Everybody is going to come up with their
own solution. Everybody will have their
own software. And capital will continue to
be wasted.” Marchionne (NAIS 2016)
"What is important for us is that the brain of the car, the operating
system, is not iOS or Android or someone else but it’s our brain,”
Dieter Zetsche, the chief executive of Daimler, the maker of Mercedes
vehicles, told reporters at the car show. IOS is Apple’s operating
system for mobile devices. "We do not plan to become the Foxconn
of Apple,” Mr. Zetsche said, referring to the Chinese company that
manufactures iPhones.“

28. Non-functional requirements matter
• Performance SLA
• Protocol choice (AMQP, NNTP, MQTT, etc.)
• Message throughput
• Traceability / debug
• Safety
• Few standards exist in connected vehicle
• Security (and legal T&C)
• Reliability (redundancy, ulti-path), Availability, Recoverability
• Data privacy and integrity
• Manageability for global systems
• Cost & billing
• Liability – a new “–ility”

29. Key takeaways
1. Value depends on where you sit; different
systems within connected vehicle initiatives
will move at different rates
2. Connected vehicle value propositions are
still looking for a viable business model,
even obvious ones like predictive
maintenance
3. Three main architecture “patterns” fall out of
these value propositions with very different
costs, schedules, and technical requirements
4. OEM strategy is often a follower model with
limited risk exposure through an active
experiments program

Editor's Notes
Welcome
This discussion will look at a specific IoT scenario, that of the connected automobile or more broadly, connected vehicle. We will look at the functionality being proposed, a couple of logical architectures for in-vehicle and cloud-provided services, and the financial/opportunity space of connected vehicles through the lens of a business architect and the business model canvas. OEMs, non-automotive technology companies, and suppliers each have different perceptions of this dynamic market and analysts predict that most automobiles will be “smart” in some way by 2030. What does the owner see value in? What does the dealership or service facility see value in? What would constitute a win-win for an OEM and a technology company? Do I really have to give up my steering wheel to an autonomous driver module? We will provide some industry data and look down the road to envision solutions within the realm of possibility.
Big switch at CES this year to autonomous over “connected”
Two main themes in this talk: 1) business model being worked simultaneous with bootstrapping technical systems/solution, 2) lots of mistakes are being made, which could be avoided with proper combination of business value quantification and technical architecture.

Collectively we spend 5.5 billion hours and burn 2.9 billion gallons of gas a year in traffic jams, as well as being responsible for 97% of road accidents on US roads (human error).
This talk will go through the agenda as follows:
Discussion of the business tradeoffs in connected vehicle and autonomous vehicles (loosely following BMC, starting with value propositions)
The importance of bootstrapping through customer segmentation
Revenue streams and channels, and the impact on major players’ ability to spend/get into market
Architecture implications of the business decisions and strategy
Wrapup with importance of non-functional requirements in this IoT case study
This is a subset of potential value propositions which may be included in a connected vehicle program. A brainstorm diagram.
Each of these could be considered a feature set within the program scope, but we notice that each has a slightly different value to a particular consumer.
OEM and supplier value is separate – this is the payer side:
What reduces OEM COGS?
What improves profitability (brand, conquest customers)? Customer lifetime value
What can I charge for? How much?
Who will pay for it?
Sample internal vision for a connected vehicle program
If we look at the value propositions, they actually lead to different architectural patterns – different projects we might frame up and build. Traditional telematics is shown as one horizontal bar, but the in-vehicle systems have come a long way in the last 5 years with much improved compute, storage and networking. Finally, we can also see a cooperative model – a mesh – which has long been a computer science topic but now has some very practical uses, like coordinated braking when an accident occurs.
The major payers in the industry each have a different take on some these basic concepts – here we show that as a progression from simpler to more advanced capabilities along a test track.
Each OEM has quite an extensive description of their interpretation of connected vehicle – fundamentally, each is trying out a business model while they are trying out feature sets. From the business side, it is not surprising that – as a bolt-on feature set to an existing market – we see a lot of joint ventures and partnerships as well as start-ups in this area. As the connected vehicle architectures evolve, we should see more coordination of changes between companies and government: who would buy a car today which does not have a NHTSA safety rating? Is that the same standard for each vehicle?
Key technologies for autonomous: automatic braking (false positives), lane detection/route following (better than GPS awareness), vehicle avoidance (how many 9’s?), powertrain optimization, external signaling/communications, driver interface (and handoff), security of operations
NHTSA - http://www.nhtsa.gov/About+NHTSA/Press+Releases/U.S.+Department+of+Transportation+Releases+Policy+on+Automated+Vehicle+Development
Canberra study - http://www.projectcomputing.com/resources/cacs/
The key belief in ADAS and autonomous is that closed-loop, sensor-driven feedback will reduce accidents. How much?
We can define a standard taxonomy of users, customers. We can the segment them based on what their buying preferences are and understand if there is a sweet spot in the value cases.
First mover may work in some small markets right now, but one thing to keep an eye on is, once you’ve proven viability of a value case, how do you scale this out to a broader fleet?
Only 55K Teslas were produced in 2015 (0.1%), 1.9% Lexus, 12% Toyota, 12% Chevrolet
There is a different value proposition in each segment, gives an upper bound on cost of solution (by knowing total addressable market)
Cheaper per mile is a factor for low-end vehicles
Sales figures by manufacturer - http://www.goodcarbadcar.net/2015/05/usa-15-best-selling-luxury-autos-april-2015-sales-figures.html

Family of 4 = 6.25 vehicles per adult, 1.75 per child, $30K per vehicle average.
Value to supplier
Build platform once, sell multiple
First mover disadvantage of having to build out the network, product – potential barriers to entry (OEM’s cloning)
Telco and other sustaining costs (call center, portal, analytics, etc.) – how to bootstrap
Pricing power most important question according to Buffett. Suppliers suffer from transfer pricing (keeps price low b/c OEM can shop around)
Many examples of loss leaders/free parking where the manufacturer produced the service but accepted small/no/negative margin; it may cost $100M to get in the game

We’ll see that there are more patterns.
Value to traditional OEM
Value to owner less important except as to brand (when given away free) – who to bill then? Just absorb? That means we’re limited in amount of spend (probably $100s of MM per OEM but unlikely $B’s)
Warranty would have to exceed cost of system
Willing to try features (like parental monitoring) as long as new car cost can support
Sub-case – value to business partners (dealership / maintenance organizations) – CRM is a big case… but predictive maintenance may just shift value, not increase value
Sub-case – value to premium or green OEM (read: Tesla) – small market segmentation
Sensors to computation to actuators
The modeling cycle for algorithm development is very important – tuning the object identification and reaction is the key algorithm for autonomous vehicle
Sensors LIDAR, radar, ultrasound, speed/direction (other than GPS)
Compute – Nvidia; in-vehicle network CAN bus
V2V – radio/Bluetooth/near-field frequencies… common ones for V2I
Modem for certain types of comm – must have reliable transport protocol; possibly redundancy on some systems

Value is where you sit – “(both in terms of where you want to go and what you can actually achieve)”
