As modern connected vehicles generate extensive and diverse data, the automotive industry faces challenges in efficiently processing, storing, and analyzing this information. With a single car producing up to 25GB of data per hour, the need for a flexible, reliable data solution has become critical. Organizations like the Connected Vehicle Systems Alliance (COVESA) have introduced standards such as the Vehicle Signal Specification (VSS) to improve interoperability and streamline data use. Document-oriented databases like MongoDB are increasingly preferred over relational databases to handle the complexity and scale of vehicle data, offering benefits such as reduced complexity, scalability by design, and adaptability to changing vehicle platforms. MongoDB's architecture supports AI workloads and is particularly effective for real-time applications like fleet management, as demonstrated by companies like Volvo Connect and SHARE NOW. The blog also highlights MongoDB's recent advancements, including a prototype for modeling vehicle signal data and an integration with LangChain for natural language querying, which further enhances its capacity to meet modern data demands in the automotive sector.
