Five megatrends are changing the industry

von

The digital transformation of our world changes how we live, work and
communicate. And it changes how we drive.
As customer requirements and technologies evolve, our perception of
what tomorrow‘s automobile should look like is evolving as well.
This book takes a close look at this transformation. In the process it
identifies and covers five megatrends that will be game changers for
the automobile industry: connected car, internet of things, big data,
cloud computing and autonomous driving.
The book provides concrete examples of how these trends are beginning
to redefine the automobile. And it discusses the safetyand-
security and data-protection challenges that need to be addressed
before widespread adoption of the new technologies becomes a reality.
Automotive companies play a key role in the car‘s digital transformation,
but the IT industry is equally important. Hence, the book pays
special attention to the interaction between the automotive and IT
industries as they jointly shape the future of the automobile.
