AUTONOMOUS & CONNECTED VEHICLES

What high-speed data means for connected vehicles Technologies behind multigigabit Ethernet and 5G could transform transportation.
The connected vehicle segments are growing at a rapid pace. By 2020, industry analysts predict there will be 250 million connected vehicles and 10 million self-driving cars on the road, and 470 million connected/ autonomous vehicles by 2025. As the number of connected cars rises, so too will the extent to which they produce, transmit and receive data. McKinsey & Company says the amount of data transmitted through a connected vehicle (and to and from the cloud) is approximately 25 GB of data/hr and predicts this figure will rise to nearly 500 GB of data/hr once vehicles are truly autonomous.

An example of where automotive Ethernet is going: The Molex 10 Gb Ethernet Gateway with 25 Gbps+ capable Molex HSAutoGig interconnect solution. It supports the signal integrity margins needed for automotive sensors, cameras, gateways and switches that are essential components of tomorrow’s autonomous vehicles.
