A comprehensive out-of-band signaling system, much like SS7 was to the telephony world, is what Nauto promises with their product offering. Nauto Cofounder and CEO, Stefan Heck, explains that they are developing devices that use the same relatively low-cost components, such as 4k cameras, that are also used in smart phones, Nauto gathers information and communicates to cars and infrastructure.
They have a big data back-end that will allow cities to understand infrastructure demands, while helping reducing traffic congestion. More than looking backwards, this data will enable predictive analytics, which could mean dynamic adjustment of signals, as well as understanding pedestrian/vehicle interaction. This new layer of information will help cities more efficiently deploy infrastructure, such as new lights or calming measures. Starting with fleets, they plan on moving to the consumer market.
