DATA AND THE CLOUD : THE INNER WORKINGS OF AN AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE
In the words of the mathematician Clive Humby : “ Data is the new oil . Like oil , data is valuable , but if unrefined it cannot really be used . It has to be changed into gas , plastic , chemicals , etc . to create a valuable entity that drives profitable activity .”
And this is true of autonomous vehicles . Without Big Data there would be no autonomous vehicles . Leveraging sensors , actuators , complex algorithms , machine learning ( ML ) systems , and powerful processors to operate , autonomous vehicles collate all of this data processing , on average , 4TB of data a day to complete their function
“ THE COMPLEXITY OF SUCH IS SO HUGE , THAT ONLY SOPHISTICATED DESIGN SOFTWARE , SUCH AS OUR 3DEXPERIENCE PLATFORM , IS ABLE TO HANDLE THIS DIFFICULTY ”
