Unlocking New Potentials - How FogHorn and Porsche Leverage Edge Computing for Vehicles

As computing power is now coming closer to the „edge“, meaning that computing is done at or near the source of the data instead of relying on the cloud in a data center somewhere, vehicles are increasingly able to handle data and compute themselves. This opens up completely new possibilities and applications for edge computing in vehicles. As part of the Stuttgart-based innovation platform Startup Autobahn, Porsche and US-based edge computing startup FogHorn joined forces to develop a prototypical edge solution that enables the keyless and easy unlocking of a Porsche vehicle.
