12 Smart Mobility and the Technologies Paving the Way

ncreasing autonomy means our cars will learn to make life-
saving decisions in split seconds. Sensors will capture and
send an enormous amount of data to precisely map the
car's surroundings. Handling that data alone requires gigabit
data speeds. When you add ever-increasing infotainment and
emerging monetization opportunities, the speed jumps to multi-
gigabit levels.
Traditional vehicle network protocols, including Local
Interconnect Network (LIN), and Controller Area Network (CAN),
operate on lower bandwidth speeds that are designed for
more straightforward tasks such as body control in high-volume
