| | AUGUST 20196CIOReviewToday, as digital transformation penetrates the automotive sector more and more deeply, cars are fast on the way to becoming tech accessories. While a vehicle's fundamental purpose (transport from point A to B) remains unchanged, practically all of its value-added characteristics are now related to digital capabilities, shifting the focus from hardware to software quotient of the automobile. As overarching directions, in-vehicle innovation accelerate from autonomous driving, electrification, and vehicle data use, automotive developers today, need to adjust and boost their tech development efforts. At the root of automotive trends, changing customer behavior, and use patterns are both a driving force and a consequence of evolving automotive technology. Shared mobility and Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) solutions are highly expected to disrupt the automotive and transport industries in the coming few years. Moreover, electric power trains have significantly augmented with a simultaneous rise in the sales of electric vehicles owing to skyrocketing gas prices and tightening environmental regulations. With digital transformation, the growing focus on user experience is evident in all industries and is already affecting automotive OEMs and suppliers alike. Customers are increasingly demanding an integrated tech environment that connects all their devices over the IoT and provides a seamless user experience across devices, including mobile phones, notebooks, tablets, and on-board vehicle infotainment systems.Moving beyond just the software, more and more sensors are being added to vehicles, posing new challenges, and opening up new opportunities. Sensor fusion technology has become an essential field in delivering solutions for integrating and intelligently managing the data coming from a large number of sensors in a modern car. All that data is shared through fast-evolving connectivity capabilities. Today, CV2X (cellular vehicle-to-everything) technologies like LTE-V2X and 5G are paving the way for true vehicle autonomy, allowing cars to communicate with other vehicles, smart traffic signs, and just about any other "thing" wirelessly connected to the IoT. In terms of safety, predictive collision avoidance technology could be one of the most essential advantages that can be witnessed in the future. This edition brings you some of the most prominent players operating in the automotive technology that have excelled with their service and will be significant drivers of the aforementioned trends to the mainstream.Let us know your thoughts!
