Globally, connected vehicles will send up to 10 Exabytes of data per month by 2025
The move towards increasingly defining vehicle features and functions in software enables the extensive personalization capabilities for all vehicle systems - infotainment, cabin comfort, driving performance, and even safety. Combining vehicle data and individual usage patterns will allow the industry to tweak and tune each vehicle to the user's needs at that time.
We believe that thoughtful and consensual personalization of automotive services will differentiate the automotive CX from a “smartphone on wheels” and elevate the experience to personalized intelligent mobility.
As drivetrains shift towards electrification, and as hardware diminishes as a differentiator, infotainment is moving to the forefront of the in-car experience, acting as the ideal pedestal to showcase FaaS.
It is fast becoming the primary touchpoint with the vehicle, taking on the responsibility of providing the driving experience for driver and passengers, building enjoyment and enthusiasm to influence customer sentiment and brand loyalty."
