    Emerging privacy challenges and approaches in CAV systems

    The growth of Internet-connected devices, Internet-enabled services and Internet of Things systems continues at a rapid pace, and their application to transport systems is heralded as game-changing. Numerous developing CAV (Connected and Autonomous Vehicle) functions, such as traffic planning, optimisation, management, safety-critical and cooperative autonomous driving applications, rely on data from various sources. The efficacy of these functions is highly dependent on the dimensionality, amount and accuracy of the data being shared. It holds, in general, that the greater the amount of data available, the greater the efficacy of the function. However, much of this data is privacy-sensitive, including personal, commercial and research data. Location data and its correlation with identity and temporal data can help infer other personal information, such as home/work locations, age, job, behavioural features, habits, social relationships. This work categorises the emerging privacy challenges and solutions for CAV systems and identifies the knowledge gap for future research, which will minimise and mitigate privacy concerns without hampering the efficacy of the functions

    Disruptive Innovation & Chance for Latecomer Firms in E-Commerce: The Cases of the YES and PINDUODUO

    Get PDF
    The e-commerce market is considered one of the potential but fully competitive markets. However, it is also clear that gap-filling or market-dominating is a never-ending process in the e-commerce market. For this reason, this is one of the amazing playgrounds attracting many participants. The question is How and by which latecomer firms can enter and succeed in the existing e-commerce market. Therefore, this paper analyses the chances for latecomer enterprises to enter the competitive e-commerce market. To pursue this goal, the paper will analyze the role of the disruptive innovation theory and its e-commerce applications. The results reveal that applying disruptive business-model innovation is a better way for fledgling e-commerce brands to enter the existing market and succeed in competing with incumbents. Furthermore, the case of THE YES – a women’s fashion e-commerce platform, and Pinduoduo – a Chinese largest agriculture-focused technology platform, are also analyzed as practical cases to join the research’s results
