We are in the midst of a tremendous transformation in the automotive
industry–and the driving experience. Cars are more connected than ever
before. Technological advances are driving change in virtually every aspect
of the vehicle–sensors alert us when objects are too close, enable automatic
braking to avoid collisions, and even enable headlights to pan as we turn, while
infotainment allows streaming of news and other audio content for the driver
and movies for passengers, and GPS guides us around traffic to reach our
destination more swiftly and safely.
Connected Mobility Data Demand—An Upward
Trajectory
The connected vehicle segments are growing at a rapid pace, with development
and prototyping of semi-autonomous and autonomous vehicles achieving new
milestones at an unprecedented pace. By 2020, analysts predict there will
be 250 million connected vehicles (Source: Gartner and 10 million self-driving
cars (Source: Business Insider Intelligence) on the road. By 2025, the market is
expected to reach 42 billion USD (Source: Boston Consulting Group,) with
more than 470 million connected and autonomous vehicles on the road.
