BMW Group's sensor data can be merged with data from different automakers, resulting in a larger scale of data used to create Mobileye's Global RoadBook, to support and update HD maps with highly accurate localization capabilities.
Autonomous vehicles will require HD maps that can identify and update changes in the environment with near real-time speed enabling a very short turnaround time to "reflect reality". The anonymized, fleet-wide data can help identify valuable information that is sent to the cloud in a highly compressed form (10 kilobytes per kilometer). This data can then be used to enable BMW Group customers to access true real-time information on traffic density, potential road hazards, weather conditions, on-street parking and other helpful information.
To address the needs of connected mobility and road safety with applications, BMW, Huawei, Intel, Nokia, Qualcomm and more partners have forged the "5G Automotive Association" to test and promote communications solutions, support standardization and accelerate commercial availability and global market penetration.
As an evolution of today's networks, mobile networks are expected to handle much more data, connect many more devices, reduce latency and achieve new levels of reliability.
