Already, the connected car is changing how we approach the role of vehicles in our daily lives and society as a whole. They are able to access the internet and through a variety of sensors and signals they are able to interact with other vehicles and the wider environment. In doing so, they are revolutionizing the driver and passenger experience.
For OEM’s the development of this market is potentially a double edged sword, Although connected services offer significant potential as a source of revenue this could be potentially offset by falling sales from legacy features such as navigation, entertainment, and safety systems. These trends will contribute to a squeeze in profits for OEMs and suppliers but will provide the opportunity for new players, including suppliers of new technology, mobility services, or digital services.
The European Chamber invites you to join the next event in our Automotive Vision Series from 14:00-16:30, on Tuesday, October 18th at Westin Beijing Chaoyang Hotel for an interactive seminar. Speakers will discuss the evolution of the connected car market, its development towards autonomous vehicles, and the consequences for the auto industry both in China and globally.
