Car Platforms of the Future
The car platforms of the future will combine automotive connectivity with advanced features to make driving a whole new experience. These platforms will unite data processing, connectivity, telematics, and third-party automotive-based services. These platforms are being driven by dozens of partnerships and associations, and will be able to accommodate a wide variety of cars, so consumers will be able to choose which one fits their needs best.
The car platforms are becoming more and more integrated with a variety of systems and allow accommodations. The Volvo 360c futuristic concept will have many uses beyond just being a car. It can serve as a mobile office, living room, and entertainment space. And since it's fully electric and autonomous, the car will be a great way to get around town. Volvo has also partnered with Ericsson to offer its cars with the full suite of connected car capabilities. The cars are updated over the air and users can access the software dashboards and maintain their cars remotely. Furthermore, the Volvo Connected Autonomy System (ADAS) functionality is integrated with this platform. The CMF-EV platform (Common Module Family) has been used by Volkswagen for its electric vehicle, the Nissan Leaf. The "Skateboard" platform is a four-motor, air-sprung platform that's flat. It's a future car platform that will underpin Amazon's delivery trucks and SUVs.
The car platforms of the future will enable carmakers to offer new services that customers would otherwise be unable to get. This will allow companies to provide different types of services to consumers. As the technology advances, more manufacturers can make customized software for their vehicles. These cars are highly automated and intelligent, and will not only increase safety and convenience for their owners but also make the ride much more enjoyable.
Car platforms are becoming more and more integrated. They'll be able to integrate underlying mobile networks and other technologies, as well as embedded UICC systems. This is a stepping-stone to driverless transportation. Despite the challenges and potential benefits of driverless cars, the future of connected cars alone is a bright one.
Currently, GM's Global EV platform combines high levels of flexibility with advanced software and hardware. It will feature GM-developed motors and DC fast charging capability. It will also offer Super Cruise ADAS. It will be built into the Cadillac LYRIQ SUV, and other GM and Volkswagen cars will be on the same platform. There are some advantages to each approach, but if these benefits outweigh any costs, the future of connected cars is here to stay.
GM is also developing a modular platform with high levels of configurability. Its EVs will use LG Chem pouch cell Ultium batteries to reduce cost, and GM has developed motors. It will be able to run on DC fast charging and support Super Cruise ADAS. It will be based on existing GM platforms. The Ford Global Electrified 1 platform is an improved version of its C2 platform. The new architecture will support both RWD and AWD vehicles.
In addition to the connected cloud platform, automakers are also developing their own solutions. These are building on existing platforms. They must integrate the cloud and the mobile app ecosystem to ensure a seamless user experience. The platforms must be designed to handle the data influx generated by these vehicles. Ultimately, these solutions should provide convenience, safety, and a better way to live our lives. This is especially important in an age of data-driven cars. Connected cars will communicate with mechanics and central hubs. In addition to this, connected vehicles will be able to share data with other devices in the world. This will allow them to improve the safety and convenience of other vehicles on the road. Increasing connectivity of cars is the key to the future of autonomous driving. These platforms will serve as the gateway for data from different devices and systems. These platforms will also serve as a hub for third-party automotive-based services, such as real-time weather, traffic information, and road conditions.
