 Thank you very much for inviting us and having the opportunity to show the view of the suppliers on the topic. So ladies and gentlemen, it's a pleasure to explain our view on the future network care. And in the first part of my presentation, I will elaborate on autonomous driving a topic which is very exciting for our sector and where we are believing that we have achieved already a lot and we will accelerate in the next years to come. And in the second part of the presentation, I will make the connection to connectivity. First a few words about KLEPA. Since I believe it's one of the biggest industry in Europe, but also one of the most unknown or hidden industry in Europe, simply a few figures. We are representing roughly 3,000 companies which are generating 600 billion euros turnover, employing 5 million people directly and the biggest investor in research and innovation here in Europe. So coming to what is driving our business in cars, they are four big drivers, first urbanization. So still the trend, people moving from rural to big city areas is going on. So it's expected that in 2030 more than 60% of the people are living in big cities and this will have a major impact on how we will move in the future. Then there's the global growth of the middle class especially in the emerging countries. So this upcoming middle class will have additional income possibilities for consuming and investments especially will have an impact on our business. And then comes the regulatory framework where governments are going on in fact to focus on three areas which are impacting the mobility, that's the preservation of resources, environmental compatibility and safety. This has an impact on the consumer behavior, the behavior of the OMS and also of the suppliers. Then finally it comes also the behavior changes of the consumers so there will be the generation Y which has another focus than cars so they are looking at connectivity. The day for the car is more a tool than an excitement but we have also still the aging population of people who still want to continue to drive a car or remain mobility and also the increasing in fact emancipation of the population. So that's the pull side of the demand of our sector. There's also a push side that is coming from a technologist, disruptive technologies and so here's a list I do not want to go into details but there's one big disruptive technologies we believe will make a major change in our society and also how we do business in the future. That's autonomous driving. There is of course a link to cloud computing, to Internet of Things, to robotics and many others and I think I believe that autonomous driving will have a major impact not only on our business but on our society. And I think the next slide is showing a little bit what it could mean. So this is based on a study of Morgan and Stanley published in 2013 for the United States so stating that in total if every car would be driving autonomously then a total saving of 1,300 billion dollars would be achieved every year so that represents 8% of the GDP of this country. So that's big numbers, maybe they're right, maybe they're wrong but I think the key message is strong. It has a tremendous impact on the society and if you are taking even this number and extrapolating this on a global level we will reach a number of 5,600 billion dollars each year. It's outstanding. And this is coming from major chapters like fuel economy. So already today we see in cars technologies like ACC so cruise controls which help to realize fuel economies if every car would have this device and then already we could save up to 20% only by this measure. And then by adding traffic management solutions etc etc this could be increased clearly. The second thing is and probably the most important is the impact on safety. So autonomous driving and it has been mentioned before will handle the 90% of driver failures we see today in our accidents and this will result in a big number like 500 billion saved each year in the United States. And then the third big chapter is in fact the improvement of productivity so assuming if the car is driving autonomously and only 30% of this time would be used to do something useful this will already lead to another 500 billion dollars saved each year. So it's enormous the impact on I think this will drive and motivate many of the market players to go in that direction. So coming to the technologies what does that mean for an autonomous car? What are the technologies we need? And the same there are five big chapters which we need to work on. So the first one is positioning so we need to know the position of the car and all its kinematics so what the car is doing. So this technology is already there has to improve it has to become more accurate etc. So the second big chapter is perception so in fact when you know where we are then you want to read in fact you the environment the infrastructure of course you want in fact also to recognize other road users including vulnerable road users and then making a clear distinction and to be ready to take the right decisions. The big third chapter is information so and there we are we are in the connectivity area so getting information from outside on top in fact what the car is reading by itself and and then at the end all this information for positioning information perception they have to be they have to be fused for the for the main reason that each of these big blocks has its advantage and disadvantages its limits. So by fusing all these these elements you can increase the quality the reliability of the entire system and then comes the most important the fifth chapter that's dex activation so you have in fact to make projections of your car in the near future so the trajectory in the case you are risking to have an accident and you have to go into scenarios in order to avoid an accident or to mitigate consequences this is even the most probably the most difficult chapter and there's another element which is not here on the slide a six element that's drive itself still he is in the car maybe you can call him as a passenger but still he remains for a long time a part of the equation so we need also technology in fact to know what is the driver doing is he sleeping or is he still able to take over a certain responsibility in case of we needing so we need also this this technologies and then of course the ultimate vision is that the driver is freed out of all these responsibilities but for a long time he will be a part of the of this equation so coming to these five six elements what is today feasible so in principle in theory you could say I can build up an autonomous car simply using the position and the information but that's theory that would in fact require that every car would be equipped with communication technologies the infrastructure would be ready at a ton of percent and then even you would not need sensors at all but that's the reality is a little bit different so we are not there and that's why we are believing from the suppliers that the perception chapter is the most important so we need to equip the cars with many sensing technologies which are providing everything which the infrastructure or the communication devices cannot yet yet provide then over the future we're believing that that step by step the weight from the perception is is is going away and will step by step increase on on the information side so there are many there are many hurdles to to come to this I simply mentioned a few ones so we discussed it before so user acceptance is very important because there are some people who like it and then and somewhere for really strange feelings about anonymous cars affordability so these technologies will add costs to the car the drive intention I did did mention before but a lot a lot of technical challenges are still to be done but we are positive about this but also we have to demonstrate that these cars are reliable and that we are gaining the trust of the consumers but also here I want to insist to say that for the moment cars are driven by cars and totally controlled by drivers and we have to learn to accept the world and the circumstance that 90% of the accidents are caused by drivers it's not pleasant but we have accepted it if not we would not climb into the cars and adusing this now if we are talking about the autonomous cars very often people asking me yeah but this is only then acceptable if the cars is 100% reliable so and my message is we are not very consistent on one hand today we are we are accepting a lot of errors by human beings but if we are going to automation we are demanding suddenly 100% reliability at the reality should be should be in between of course going step by step to 100% reliability of course but we cannot switch from from one direction radically to the other one in one day it's it's it's not reasonable and it's not taking a lot feasible today so then we're coming to the regulatory framework it has been mentioned before so the Vienna Convention I will not repeat it so of course we are we are looking strongly for the amendments of the Vienna Convention and also I want to highlight the very important work of UNVP 29 made on on this so we need an efficient global framework for this which is also in addition supporting innovation and and creating the public awareness and acceptance and for for these new technologies and enabling the stepwise stepwise approach to higher levels of automatic driving there are many other chapters which have to be solved it has been mentioned before civil liability even criminal law open chapters but also extremely important data production is another open chapter where we have have to make progress very soon so now coming back to automatic driving and its impact and now what is the the link to connect it driving and so I'm making also difference between information and then communication and then even the higher level of cooperative driving on the right so while the vehicle resident technologies targeting at casual avoidance can be highly beneficial vehicle to vehicle communication is an additional step in in fact to improve a safety of cars and to warn drivers about an upcoming a danger so we we to be equipped vehicles perceive saw as rats sooner than then sensors they can see around the corner they see at longer distances they can even see through cans through buildings etc so they open and tell me new possibilities where sensors I simply have have limits and also I think this movement from automatic driving to all these connected technologies will also change our industry the supply industry dramatically probably we will also see a little bit like in the communication industry mobile in the phone industry that we will have a divide maybe in hardware suppliers and software suppliers and those who were making the connections so we are also to to absorb this major structural changes within our sectors and having a major impact on the jobs required for the future a few words about connected and cooperative so what is the difference so I try to make a diva in a quite simple so there are many many applications you can imagine that you see with all this this but with these bubbles there are many applications possible around connected but I would say they are mainly targeted to make the life easier of of of the users and and increasing their comfort whereas the cooperative system so which is not only taking information not only communicating but also being part of of actuators so taking decisions they are having an impact in fact on traffic flow management but even more on safety so what is this at the current situation about connectivity in cash so today the automotive connectivity is dominated by by aftermarket devices it's a very important business for us the rolling out of new infrastructure is is a expensive for governments and therefore also slow and incomplete we see the regional differences they may hinder than the interoperability and also we see still today a big disconnect between mobile and automotive industry life cycles and the mobile sector brings many positive elements to connected care especially the ability to build an ongoing relationship with the customers I think we from the car side we have to learn for from from you on the side but also what we see is the payment models for how consumers pay for connected cars and not still not still develop in a satisfying way and so we need an in fact a new approach in a connected car how the relations between the automotive manufacturers dealers and customers are handled but also we need also new models between the operators and and the car for the car manufacturers so you connect the car will lead to new models of ownership and now I'm coming to the objective of connected cars with it as a proposal or as a source from the view of the suppliers so connected vehicles they should increase the market penetration with interoperable communication and it has been challenging so far for automotive or yams to generate much revenue from the connected cars to date so it's still a marginal business in our area and so it remains for the or yams and he is his challenge in fact by how to sell the benefits of the connectivity to dealership networks that's where he is focusing for for the moment and well as a value chain participants a little bit more frustrated because they feel a little bit excluded and then of course it was discussed before the big question for us is the the access and the ownership of the data so in our section it's not that clear who owns it so in some cases it's a system providers we think in the unit the car manufacturers they think they own the data because they are part of the car but also the consumer could say I'm owning it so it this is also for me not very clear and then the intelligent transport system is only possible if we achieve to have a representative quantity of data which is collected linked and and and and process so that's why also we we are in fact launching the discussion how these can be realized there technically so we we think that we need certification procedures from independent entities which approve that applications are safe reliable and complying with the necessary security levels and also we are just discussing now in fact in the need for an open platform which is more widely recognized as a part of a drive towards increased collaboration across the entire ecosystem I was described describing before so we also thinking that an open vehicle platform architecture will accelerate the market share of connected and communicating vehicles so to summarize a little bit the connected car is no longer an option for automotive OEMs it is a necessity but I will summarize in fact the success and and the speed how connectivity will will progress in the future to a simple equation so if we achieve together the entire ecosystem to create a sustainable connected car business grounded on collaboration and where sales can be generated for all the all the players throughout the value chains I think then we are on the right track
