    1. Augmented Reality (AR) overlays virtual objects on the real-world environment. It is an interactive experience of a real-world environment where the objects that reside in the real world are enhanced by computer-generated perceptual information, sometimes across multiple sensory modalities, including visual, auditory, haptic, somatosensory, and factory.

      1. Customers can interact with the app to be able to discover more about the car’s key features, like the hybrid’s motor, battery, and its fuel tank. Customers can also go in-depth into how the car’s energy is used and how the drivetrain works in different drive states.

      2. For automotive brands, technology is becoming a key part of the acquisition process, allowing customers to gain insight into the product in new and immersive ways – and ideally draw them further down the path to purchase.

      3. Photo of damage and software can identify the damage behind the accident

    2. Mixed Reality (MR) not just overlays but anchors virtual objects to the real world. It is the merging of real and virtual worlds to produce new environments and visualizations, where physical and digital objects co-exist and interact in real time. Mixed reality does not exclusively take place in either the physical or virtual world but is a hybrid of reality and virtual reality.

  11. Autonomous - Self Driving NHTSA and Autonomous Vehicles (Part 1): The 5 levels of automation – Law and AI

    1. No Automation (Level 0) The driver is in complete and sole control of the primary vehicle controls - brake, steering, throttle and motive power at all times.

    2. Function-specific Automation (Level 1) Automation at this level involves one of more specific control functions. Examples include electronic stability control or pre-charged brakes, where the vehicle automatically assists with braking to enable the driver to regain control of the vehicle or stop faster than possible by acting alone.

    3. Combined Function Automation (Level 2) This level involves automation of at least two primary control functions designed to work in unison to relieve the driver of control of those functions. And example of combined functions enabling is adaptive cruise control in combination with lane centering.

    4. Limited Self-Driving Automation (Level 3) Vehicles at this level of automation enable the driver to cede full control of all safety-critical functions under certain traffic or environmental conditions and in those conditions to rely heavily on the vehicle to monitor for changes in those conditions requiring transition back to the driver control. The driver is expected to be available for occasional control.

    5. Full Self-Driving Automation (Level 4) The vehicle is designed to perform all safety-critical driving functions and monitor roadway conditions for an entire trip. Such a design anticipates that the driver will provide destination or navigation input, but is not expected to be available for control at any time during the trip. This includes both occupied and unoccupied vehicles.

  12. Mobility is a key part of today’s fleet management strategies, and it usually incorporates pool management, short-term leases, long-term rentals, and programs that are designed to deliver transportation, on-demand, for just the amount of time needed. However, in the future, mobility isn’t limited by a specific lease structure, and does not stop at just vehicles.

    Rather, mobility is a fully customizable plan that allows transportation to happen as precisely and easily to best meet your needs. In the future, mobility will be a holistic approach that focuses not just on fleet, but the end user and all forms of travel they use, whether that is ride sharing, train, public transportation, air, and (one day) even autonomous vehicles. Mobility will be all about moving people in the most efficient way possible to get the job done.

    1. Autonomous fleets; Outside of the shared mobility space, there are two more categories of mobility fleets, one of them being autonomous fleets. These would be companies that are involved in autonomous vehicle development and testing. The goal here is to eventually fill a fleet with fully operational and safe autonomous vehicles.

    4. Electrification

    5. Fleet Management

    6. Testing
