Vehicles Doing More Driving
10 years from DARPA Challenge to Tesla’s AutopilotNext 10 years
Semi-autonomous driving Fully autonomous vehicles in low-speed settings AI plus mapping yields more self-driving capabilities Self-driving common on some roads by 2025

The Cloud-Connected Vehicle Ecosystem
Vehicles as data probesData harvested and used
Mapping Traffic conditions Hazards and incidents Trip planning
As data flows to/from vehicle improve, greater vehicle automation supported Safer More efficient Better travel experience

Short-Term ITS Implications
Share data freely Static roadway features Dynamic elements
Make system machine readableAccept third party data to understand systemGoal: Best information to consumers in channel they are
using

Highways as Data Generators
IoT possibilities Wrong-way driver warnings Excessive speed warnings Vehicle speeds and counts Pavement conditions Bridge/walls monitoring Vehicle weights Lane closures Hazards
Primary consumers of data are vehicles not drivers

Conclusions
Full vehicle autonomy unlikelyConnection will enable autonomous operationITS should facilitate connection via open data practices
Share own data freely Take full advantage of third-party data about our systems
“Do-it-alone” approach will ill-serve public and slow transition to improved surface transportation system
