Title: Opportunities and risks for the ICE in a connected automotive framework
Abstract:
Connectivity allows deploying a wide range of functionalities, as on board emission monitoring, remote diagnostics, over the air software update, support of federated AI learning, etc.
Present and future applications of the internal combustion engine, shaped by the decarbonization of the power generation and the increase of electrification, will need to harness the new opportunities offered by the connectivity -but also be aware of the intrinsic technological, economical and regulatory risks.
