Key industry experts will debate new technologies that will see our cars become more and more a part of the information and communications technology (ICT) network.

Systems are under development that link vehicle-to-car, providing safety information; and vehicle-to-infrastructure, improving traffic management and providing access to a wide variety of in-car services, from advanced location-based applications to entertainment and online information.

Some predict that, with the advent of electric cars, vehicles may even become moving storage units for tomorrow’s smart electricity grids.

An essential ingredient is globally agreed standards produced by ITU, ISO and IEC.

This year’s Fully Networked Car workshop will focus on some of the hurdles facing the rollout of these new intelligent transport systems.
