- You’ll be safer: Automated driving will greatly reduce the chance of accidents – and remove the need for traffic lights!
- You’ll have more “me” time: Your car will be able to drive itself and park itself. So stretch out and read a book, or chat with your friends online as you travel. Jump out the car at the restaurant and meet your friend for lunch, whilst your car goes to park itself.
- You’ll have more money: Your insurer will never worry about your driving history again. And get your car “ubering” or start ride sharing.
- You’ll visit the doctor less: Your car will become the most advanced mobile device that you use, capable of becoming a “clinic” through its healthcare apps. Get a health check-up whilst you’re being driven to the office!
- You’ll want to commute more often: Your connected car will be part of a network that provides a commuting service for you. You’ll finally be able to enjoy a stress-free, enjoyable travel experience.
The Connected Car is set to
revolutionise the automotive experience, according to a new industry report
from global growth strategy consulting company Ipsos Business Consulting.
Traditionally, car ownership brings with it high costs and stress levels, as
well as significant commuting times. But the automotive industry is in the
early stages of radical transformation that will see the connected car becoming
the most advanced computing device that we own. “The extent of business
re-engineering faced by automotive companies should not be under-estimated”
said Per-Henrik Karlsson, Country Head for Korea at Ipsos Business Consulting.
“Effectively, automotive manufacturing companies are extremely large industrial
companies, yet they must now seek to transform themselves into data analytics
companies. The car will become a mobile device, much the same as your tablet or
smartphone – except more literally in this case. The challenge is immense and
there is a possibility that we see some existing companies being marginalized
or disappearing from a marketplace in which they are currently a major player.”
Karlsson commented.
Lynn Morgan, Head of Europe
for Ipsos Business Consulting agreed with Karlsson, adding: “The advent of the
Connected Car, Connected Healthcare and the Internet of Things marks the dawn
of some of the most exciting times since the Industrial Revolution.
Manufacturers have never experienced this level of transformational change in
the past. We are already seeing the traditional players forming alliances with
data companies, retailers and app developers. Some are buying technology
companies as part of their strategy to get ready for the change. This is all
very exciting for the consumer who is about to witness technological
developments on a large scale – developments that were considered to be in the
realms of science fiction not so long ago.”
Douglas Cassidy, Head of
Indonesia for Ipsos Business Consulting further added: “this next stage in the
technology revolution poses both opportunities and challenges for Indonesia.
The opportunities will lie in being able to make transformational leaps to a
new world of efficiencies in areas such as transport management; the challenges
will lie in delivering the technology infrastructure to support that
transformation, and in generating sufficient economic wealth across all social
classes to allow the population to fully benefit from it.”
