Open Networking & Edge Summit 2020

As a basis for realizing various future automotive services such as intelligent driving and Mobility as a Service (MaaS), expectations for connected cars are increasing. In 2025, it is estimated that 100 million cars worldwide will be connected to the network, and 1 to 10 EB of data traffic will be generated between vehicles and the cloud per month, which will significantly increase the load on the network. Edge Computing is expected to be applied as one of the solutions to this problem, and various efforts are being made by both academia and industry.

In this presentation, we describe the use cases and requirements for connected cars that we expect to use Edge Computing. We also introduce the network and distributed computing architecture to realize Edge Computing for connected cars, and the state and future prospects of PoC development using open source softeare such as Kubernetes.
