Abstract

OEMs and new entrants can take the Mobility as a Service market (MaaS) as the entry point, upgrade its E/E (Electric and Electronic) architecture to be C/C (Computing and Communication) architecture, build one open software defined and data driven software platform for its production and service model, use efficient and collaborative ways of vehicles, roads, cloud and network to continuously improve core technologies such as autonomous driving, provide MaaS operators with an affordable and agile platform. In this paper we present one new framework, VEC-OF (Vehicle-Edge-Cloud Open Framework), which is a new data and AI centric vehicle software framework enabling a much safer, more efficient, connected and trusted MaaS through cooperative vehicle, infrastructure and cloud capabilities and intelligence
