The way we use transportation is transforming. Consumer demand, new manufacturers and the hype around autonomous vehicles are accelerating the journey to a new automotive era.

But for this to become a reality, so much more than just the cars we drive must evolve. From connectivity to cybersecurity, data to fleet management, the world must alter how it views and uses vehicles.

Car makers are responding in a variety of ways. They’re partnering with technology leaders to unlock innovation, upending their business models to embrace the move to mobility, and laying the groundwork for autonomous driving.

And they’re doing all this against a backdrop of major transformation.

Electrifying the journey

At the center of it all is the electric vehicle transition. The move from fossil fuel dependency to more rechargeable, reusable, software-defined modes of travel is gathering pace, but for the benefits to be realized, manufacturers need to rethink their operations.

And they need to act fast. EV-focused OEMs are better equipped to meet customers’ demands with digital-first buying experiences and focusing on in-car entertainment to combat the issue of charging times during journeys.

Car-as-a-service

The transformation of transport isn’t just about EVs, however. As customers reconsider how they use vehicles, they’re also questioning how they acquire them. A more transient, urban-based driver demographic is less keen on outright purchasing or rigid leasing agreements. Subscription-based services are gaining popularity, with their shorter terms and user-friendly apps in place to manage both contracts and vehicles.

Autonomous driving

Then there are self-driving cars. Mainstream adoption may be decades away, but whether fully self-driving vehicles or manually operated with some assisted features (such as parking), autonomous driving continues to excite interest. As the EV transition and connected car features such as CaaS accelerate, the data and infrastructure needed will continue to improve.
