NAV Alliance is committed to building consensus around new ideas, architectures and technologies propelling Ethernet networking into the realm of Multi-Gigabit/s speeds inside the autonomous car, which in itself resembles a data center on wheels. The car environment is unique, engineers face tremendous challenges related to noise emission and immunity, power consumption, reliability, safety standards, security, cables that are of different construct than those commonly found in data centers and enterprise infrastructure. To continue the evolution of the Ethernet technology into this new, fascinating environment, takes an industry-broad approach to solving problems and a drive towards standardization, based on the fundamental principle of consensus building. Technologies emerging from this industry-wide effort will be specified by the appropriate bodies, with the help from NAV Alliance and its members working closely with industry standard organizations like the IEEE.
