1 Workshop on ICTs in motor vehicles
Honda Racing F1 “Earthdreams car”
featured at the workshop in 2008 Geneva Palexpo, 3–4 March 2010

The car industry is undergoing major changes with new services and applications in
areas such as safety and security, navigation, car maintenance, fleet management, mobile
office and entertainment. These changes represent significant opportunities… and some
challenges. Standardization is seen as a major issue.
The “Lightning GT” prototype electric sports car
from the Lightning Car Company was a special
feature of the workshop in 2009
For the fifth year running, ITU1, ISO2 and IEC3 will bring together the key players in-
volved in the development of these standards, as well as other key industry figures for the
Fully Networked Car Workshop at Geneva International Motor Show, 3 and 4 March 2010.
Collaboration and coordination is – all parties agree – essential.

With this call for abstracts presentations are sought that address system capabilities to
support applications and services in the Fully Networked Car.

Given communications capabilities, cars can foresee and avoid collisions, navigate
the quickest route to their destination, make use of up-to-the-minute traffic reports,
Burkhard Göschel, Hans W. Gierlich, Tadao Saito, identify the nearest available parking slot, minimize their carbon emissions and

development of new forms of propulsion, such as hybrid, plug-in, electric and fuel cell.
