Automotive Edge Computing Consortium (AECC)

2017: Creation

On August 10, 2017 it was announced creation of the Automotive Edge Computing Consortium (AECC) organization which participants — the technology and automobile companies — will develop projects in the field of Big Data in motor transport.

Told about formation of this consortium in Toyota company which was included into this alliance. The Swedish producer of telecommunication equipment Ericsson, the Japanese developer of auto parts also joined Denso, the American chipmaker Intel and the Japanese telecom giant NTT DoCoMo it.

The IT and auto giants created consortium for development of Big Data in machines

Within this partnership its participants will use arrays of automobile data for creation of new services. In particular, development of the intelligent solutions for control of machine which are renewed in real time of cards and cloud assistants for drivers is planned lists Reuters agency.

In process of emergence of new features in vehicles, such as systems of tracking a band and pilotless management, cars generate and use more and more data including showing their location. According to forecasts of Toyota, during the period from 2017 to 2025 amount of data, transferred between cloud services and cars, will increase in 10 thousand times and 10 Ebayt a month will be measured.

Such expected growth will provoke creation of new architecture of network and computing infrastructure for support of the distributed resources and topology of data storage. Architecture will conform to applicable standards that will demand from the companies of cooperation at the local and global levels — said in Toyota.

It should be noted that Toyota actively works in the direction of cars with expanded network functions. At the beginning of August, 2017 the company announced purchase of 5% of stocks of Mazda for the purpose of promotion of the artificial intelligence technologies, autonomous driving, etc.^[1]
