报告内容简介：
Connected vehicles or self-driving cars have attracted significant attention in the last few years and will change the way people conduct their daily life. Intensive research activities have been conducted not only on collision avoidance and safe driving, but also for various kinds of sensing and communications for IoT applications. Imagine if each vehicle is equipped with powerful capability of communications, computing, storage and intelligence (CCSI capability), vehicles roaming around a city will automatically form a dynamic web of sensing, processing, communications, computing, and intelligence harvesting for intelligent decision making to improve people’s quality of life.
In this talk, the speaker will discuss various related problems and design challenges with this vision and present novel collaborative system architectures to leverage connected vehicles for various kinds of smart operations and provide cost-effective solutions to smart city design.
