Ericsson has inked an agreement with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), a private research university in Cambridge to jointly create innovative solutions for Ericsson’s Autonomous Driving – the Predictive Mobility project.
The agreement sees Ericsson collaborating with MIT's System Design & Management (SDM) program initiated based on significant student interest expressed via a vote at MIT SDM’s annual SDM Project Forum and Core Technology Showcase, held in January at the MIT Media Lab, said Ericsson.
Ericsson’s Predictive Mobility project takes an innovative software approach to combining data and analytics to better understand context, driver profiles and network awareness in support of app delivery to the autonomous car, including intelligent media streaming.

MIT’s SDM program combines multiple academic disciplines, including engineering, management and systems thinking, for top-tier mid-career professionals with several years of work experience who want to innovate and lead. Their participation will offer fresh insight, and creative perspective to Ericsson’s important Autonomous Driving project.
