BUT: What about the Automotive Industry?
Speed Location
Temperature
Tire Pressure
Fuel Consumption
Engine RPMRain Sensors
Accelerometer
APIs providing access and enabling new innovative business models
Research Questions
RQ1 What data is generated by modern vehicles?
RQ2Which use cases and scenarios can be derived by providing
large scale access to vehicle generated data through APIs?
RQ3What are barriers for use-cases and scenarios not being
implemented?
RQ4How could the advancing of API economy within the
automotive industry be accelerated?

Vehicle Generated Data
• Average number of sensors per vehicle is increasing• 24 in 2002• 40 in 2007 (Estimate)• 70 in 2013 (Prediction)
• Current (2007) luxury cars have over 100 sensor per vehicle [Fleming2008]
