As the new generation of vehicles evolves, so do their features and connected capabilities, which inevitably leads to data overload, and a highly-burdened network with extreme computing complexity in the on-board system. There is a need for higher capacity, high performance storage, optimized for the myriad demands of the automotive environment.

On the road today there are an estimated 21 million connected vehicles, gathering endless terabytes of data. Gartner predicts that by 2020 the average connected vehicle will generate over 280 petabytes annually, with at least 4 TB of data being generated per day. That data comes from the on-board hardware, which includes cameras (generating 20-60MB/s), sonar (10-100 kB/s) radar (10kB/s), LIDAR systems (10-70MB/s) and GPS (50 kB/s).
