Fujitsu created an organization "next-generation vehicle office",
which promotes Fujitsu's "Vehicle ICT" vision which help automotive industry
convert itself into "personal mobility provider".  

Perspective

According to practice for innovation of matured industries,  future automobile industry
will become  "personal mobility provider".  Providing mobility instead of "selling cars" 
leads 3 changes:

- Majority of cars will be commoditized.
- Context-based in-vehicle informatics increase its importance.
- Advanced driver assistance and kinds of autonomous control will be introduced.

W3C's Open Web Platform is ideal for these changes because:

- It is fully standardized-and-open information platform 
- Continuously-improving presentation technology 
- Network-ready and have multi-domain APIs

W3C's Open Web Platform will take a center roll in the car informatics.

Our viewpoint 

Main topic: Creating markets for automotive applications 
Related sub-topics:
  Browser-based Applications 
  Security, Privacy and Trust 

We point out the need of In-vehicle computing (IVC) resource connecting all of in-vehicle ECUs 
and external network. IVC sits between group of ECUs and cloud computing platform to provide  
advanced driver assistance and kinds of autonomous control using context-based computing of
multi-domain data including vehicle conditions, traffic and map info, and driver's behavior.  

We are interested in framework to realize IVC run applications created by anyone avoiding
liability problem. Application delivery platform and in-vehicle runtime environment must coordinately
realize this framework.
