NAFA Foundation Whitepaper Makes The CASE For Mobility

摘要

The whitepaper provides extensive detail on the convergence of autonomous technologies and vehicle sharing, the present stage of mobility's transformation in North America and around the globe, the importance of vehicle electrification in mobility advancement, the impact these will have on the work of fleet professionals, and what fleet must do to prepare for inevitable changes. The whitepaper keys in on the four major trends - described by the acronym CASE: Connectivity, Automation, Sharing, and Electrification -that are converging and driving automotive and associated industries toward a mobility transformation. Connectivity: The Gartner research firm forecasts that one in five vehicles on the road will have some form of wireless connection by 2020, bringing the total of worldwide connected vehicles up to more than 250 million, and that 5G networks being deployed in smartphones and connected cars may be as much as 10 times more efficient than 4G networks. Taking wireless phone networks to the next level will mean that communications service providers (CSPs) will be able to work with vehicle manufacturers on autonomous vehicle functions related to driver safety and data processing and management.
