While app development has emerged in everywhere from smartphones to wearable gadgets, one of the most potential up-coming platforms is vehicles, for empowering “software-defined vehicles” that incorporate highly customizable computational intelligence and user-tailoring configurability, transforming our transportation experiences. However, the automotive industry has been slow to embrace this trend, which imposed numerous hurdles. In this talk, I examine the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead in vehicular app development. I also introduce the related research projects in my group, including an open-source platform for vehicular apps, and a real-time tracking app for vehicle movements.
