The first is \u201cconnectivity between vehicles which can give us real-time information about incidents on the road such as an accident or a car that has broken down, damage to the road surface or icing.\u201d Then there is also connectivity between the car and the infrastructure including traffic signs and traffic lights, and finally between the occupants of the vehicle and the outside world so that people can for instance work from their vehicle or connect to social media.<\/p>\n<p>Another future trend \u201cis that the driver will eventually disappear and the vehicle will make the decisions,\u201d argues Beltran, who points out that there are five levels of autonomous driving. Most of the cars being manufactured today are already at levels 1 or 2, and it is estimated that within 10 years we will have fully autonomous vehicles (level 5). Indeed, \u201csome tests are already being run by major manufacturers and the technology is pretty much available.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the need for constant updating and the increasing importance of software and vehicle customisation leads customers to want cutting-edge, state-of-the-art solutions. This is a new trend which \u201cshatters the natural cycle of manufacturers who release a new model every six years,\u201d points out David Pardos, Business Developer for the Automotive Industry at Eurecat. He contends that this pattern \u201cis too traditional and outdated for today\u2019s users who are always looking to have a customised car with advanced features.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As a result, vehicle software updates have been rolled out via the cloud (Over The Air Update) and Software as a Product (SaaP) whereby the user \u201chas a car with an initial software version which after a while can be updated with a new version supplied by the manufacturer including better features and specifications, as has been the case for some time now with mobiles,\u201d adds Pardos.<\/p>\n<p>All these trends point to a scenario shaped by \u201cthe rapid evolution of the automotive industry in terms of technology and business models,\u201d notes Guillem Quintana, Eurecat\u2019s director of Business Development. \u201cThis means transformation and innovation at all levels from the leading manufacturers and suppliers to dealers and other stakeholders in the value chain.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Engine electrification, shared mobility, connectivity, autonomous driving and constant software updates are the five top megatrends which are shaping technological innovation in the automotive industry, where 40 percent of new car production is expected to be electric or hybrid by 2030.
