9-11-2017, Automotive News, DETROIT -- Self-driving vehicles will generate unfathomable amounts of data, and companies will need to work together if they want to take advantage of new and larger sources of information, an Intel executive says.

Kathy Winter, Intel's vice president of automated driving solutions, said production-level autonomous vehicles will create massive amounts of data from onboard sensors and connected services. It will be up to manufacturers to determine which data are useful and how to share access.

Intel estimates that self-driving vehicles will generate about 4,000 gigabytes of data daily, compared with the 0.65 gigabytes the average person creates a day with connected personal devices such as smartphones and computers. Vehicle-generated data include technical information about the vehicle, crowd-sourced data from fleets -- such as sensor inputs used for traffic updates -- and personal preferences of passengers.
