ABI Research: 6 transformative paradigms driving toward smart, sustainable automotive transportation
ABI Research has defined six transformative paradigms for the automotive industry over the next 25 years: the software-defined car; sensors and big data; the connected car; cooperative mobility and the IoT; electrification; and car sharing/driverless cars. While the first three phases are already underway, the latter three will start to drive the market forward within the next 10 years, according to the market research firm.
The final three stages—cooperative mobility, electrification, and car sharing leading to driverless cars—will be the most disruptive to the automotive industry. Not all car manufacturers will survive the changing landscape. And newcomers will also emerge, ones eager to create new, software-defined, high-tech cars.
