Cars are getting smarter

• The car is shackled by its lack of foresight – it can’t alert ‘nearly failed’, it waits to fail

– it doesn’t know when speed limits change or accidents ahead have happened

• Connecting it to the internet liberates cars from these and many other shackles

• Cars can communicate, and speak with cars – It can tell you (and the garage) when its about to fail

– Accident information can be passed from the start of a queue to the back of the queue

– Icy road information from cars antilock brake data will be sent to the car behind for safer winter driving

The challenge is your data is in

‘verticals’ and taken by firms

• This misses the horizontals – the links

between the data

• Context of use is in the horizontals – What you do,

when and with who

Hub of All Things is a repository

for all your life's data

• The Internet of things is coming – It will mean lots of data from your

house and your life

• HAT collects IoT data – And makes it accessible only to you

in one place

• The platform is built – We have 6 people collecting a lot of

personal data

– We are working now to scale up to 1 million people in UK and Singapore

• HAT data is owned by the individual

– You share it with who ever you wish

• Firms create apps to integrate your data with your life • You, not the firm, owns your data and you chose your apps

However, we will likely use our new powers to overcome more mundane crisis

How do we avoid the “crisis of the

mundane*”?

* For example, having to go out on a Sunday night to buy essentials as you ran out

We have connected devices to monitor consumption, location etc.

Firms make apps to link our life

data in real time for us

Firms compete with apps and offers to make us better

We can chose apps to remind us of things we need and

where to buy it when we are in our cars

Firms can compete to get you to go and buy from

them

What does this mean to you?

• Cars smarter and more useful – Currently quite focussed on travel and social networks

• There is an opportunity to think this further forwards than transport and towards data hubs – The car revolutionised personal transport

– Data will revolutionise the car for the first time in 100 years

• There are likely to be casualties in the data economy – It could get very tough for supermarkets

• Automakers are extraordinarily good at adapting and adopting new ideas – Endless possible transport and data business models

Current focus autonomous vehicles misses the wider opportunity for the connected car

The Hub of All Things

• A working prototype platform which captures and structures your

personal data

– Keeps your data safe for you

– Shares data only with those you allow

– Your data works for you

• Firms make applications to link your datasets

– You choose the apps to suit what you do

• Just as the SMART phone revolutionised telecoms, connection will

revolutionise transport

– SMART phones are rarely used to make a voice call

– Cars may change their primary purpose

• The car will be a data hub

– it enables you to overcome mundane crises

– it makes you more awesome
