Oxbotica and Cisco join forces on driverless data challenge
UK autonomous vehicle software specialist Oxbotica has teamed up with IT giant Cisco to develop technology for tapping into the potential of the huge volumes of data generated by driverless vehicles.
Autonomous vehicles make 150 independent vehicle detections every second and generate up to 80GB of data per driven-hour from sensors such as LiDAR, cameras and RADAR as well as Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) logs. This constant activity means amassing 1.2TB of data in a 16-hour day, much of which is gathered when the vehicle returns to base.
With 70 million new connected vehicles expected to enter the market every year by 2024, the volumes of data gathered will be too large to share efficiently and cost-effectively using existing 4G, or emerging 5G, networks.
