As electric vehicles (EV) become more affordable, analysts predict they will constitute almost a third of new-car sales by the end of the next decade. And this fundamental shift in a vehicle’s powertrain is just the beginning of the e-mobility revolution. In the not too distant future, autonomous vehicles (AV) and commercial fleets of EVs will become an integral part of our everyday life, as AVs powered by a complex mix of GPS, sensors, and cameras become capable of handling all driving conditions.
At the same time, the rapid pace of digitization is shifting automakers’ focus from hardware-driven components to “mobility-as-a-service.” As consumers’ evolving digital lifestyle expectations continue to grow, the future roadmap of digitization in the automotive sector places the car at the center of a connected living solution.
