few and far between ,” says Shome . “ Sales could plateau if consumers decide to wait for the infrastructure , leaving us further behind on net zero goals . Manufacturers can help by enhancing in-vehicle connectivity and providing more meaningful insights to drivers in 2024 . Then , the vehicles themselves would enable drivers to accurately find their nearest public chargers – along with charging capabilities – or suggest changes in driving style to save power until the next charging point . This is key to reducing range anxiety , which remains the main barrier to mainstream adoption of more sustainable transport .”
Now , the in-vehicle software platform , BlackBerry IVY , lets drivers monetise their vehicle data . Its software-abstract signals enable processing at the edge and support cloud-controlled access to vehicle data . This allows car makers and software developers to benefit from :
• Data connectivity savings
• Quicker development times
• Optimised data processing using on-vehicle machine learning . So how does the technology behind Blackberry IVY support off-road driving ?
BLACKBERRY IVY EMPOWERING OFF-ROAD DRIVING WITH IN-VEHICLE DATA PROCESSING
According to Shome , off-road driving presents a particular challenge for connected vehicles when heading off-thebeaten track , as this often means driving through remote areas without cellular connectivity .
