Automotive identity
The Automotive Identity Group focuses on enabling a user to easily access their mobile content and automotive services as they move between different cars
The Group concentrates on how this can be achieved seamlessly through existing mobile subscriptions within cars supporting consumer eSIM. This allows users to make and receive calls using their own mobile phone number and obtain data connectivity using their existing smartphone data bundle whilst mitigating some of the challenges of using smartphones reliably in cars for telephony and connectivity services.
With the right framework in place, the automotive industry could benefit from having mobile and automotive identities easily federated thereby opening up new opportunities across various use cases.
This provides an elegant solution for in-car consumer connectivity and opens up innovative business models around car sharing in which a car can be easily personalised to the user on-entry. For example, users could easily use their existing subscription within the car to make and receive calls using their mobile phone number and obtain data connectivity with their existing smartphone data bundle.
What the GSMA is doing
The GSMA is working on this framework and aims to ensure that it is extensible and can facilitate the wider use of a mobile identity across many other sectors and use cases (e.g., Travel and Hospitality).
Use Case Example
- Enable a user to easily bring their mobile identity into a car so that they can make use of their existing MNO subscriptions for making and receiving calls and obtaining data connectivity using their existing data bundle
Automotive Identity Technical Specification
Download the latest document which specifies an interface between Mobile Service Provider (MSP) and Car Mobility Provider (CMP) as part of the framework to enable mobile, content, and automotive services to be easily federated and provisioned into cars and accessed via authentication.
In particular, one of the key aims is to enable individuals to seamlessly use their mobile subscription and mobile services via an in-car system and consumer eSIM across multiple cars.
