3 Main Automotive Trends at International CES 2016 (1/6) The vision of most automotive OEMs is that the car becomes a personal assistant, a mobile phone on wheels, the best companion of the user or his BUDD-e (buddy) Vehicles should make life easier through value added services like preplanning and optimization of routs based on agenda data, parking pre-reservations, preparation of the connected home before arrival, etc. or simply through the possibility to relax during automated driving In this framework the vehicle becomes part of the internet-of-things being connected to Mobile devices Smarthome Office Divers clouds As the overall ecosystem will change with the arrival of automated driving, OEMs recognize clearly the need to change their business models and to generate added value services in order to keep or further increase their revenue streams Ford wants to become an Automobile and Mobility Company BMW and Ford plan to offer added value connected services also to vehicle-owners not driving their respective brands With MercedesMe Mercedes and its partners offer a package of innovative services, products and lifestyle GM has massively invested into Lyft, a competitor of Uber Objective is to increase the frequency of customer interaction and not only to get in touch with customers when selling a car or in the repair shop 21-Jan-16 Copyright 2016 Page 3

4 Main Automotive Trends at International CES 2016 (3/6) For this purpose real-time vehicle environment data are created through real-time scanning with LiDAR sensors and cameras implemented around autonomous vehicles and are compared with high-resolution map data All mapping companies and OEMs create at the moment their own high resolution map data by scanning step by step all roads worldwide Audi, BMW, and Daimler acquired mapping company HERE from Nokia HERE is currently scanning roads for its HD Map Layer TomTom has scanned highways and freeways in Michigan and California in HD quality and starts now to scan European highways Toyota builds its own mapping system for autonomous cars Ford signed a partnership with Velodyne using Velodyne s LiDAR sensors to create HD maps Mobileye has a partnership with VW and GM to map roads with their camera systems Vehicle localization and object classification need important calculation power in combination with artificial intelligence and deep learning Maps are updated based on crowd-sourced real-time data Vehicles access on databases with millions of data on object classification (traffic signs, traffic participants, etc.) Algorithms define situational behavior of vehicles In case of vehicle errors or situations in which vehicles do not know what to do new algorithms have to be created and deployed to the fleet NVIDIA believes that all OEMs have to have their own deep neuronal network potentially leading to competitive advantages Neuronal networks will become essential for the driving experience Networks will be maintained, improved, deployed and enhanced over time 21-Jan-16 Copyright 2016 Page 4
