'The connected ecosystem is a fundamental building-block for building next-generation, intelligent vehicles of the future.'
The topic of connected vehicles may have been around for more than a decade but today, connected vehicles or vehicle connectivity is an entry point for several workloads and use cases including software-defined vehicles, over-the-air updates, enabling features-on-demand or cybersecurity. To keep the vehicle secure and up to date with new content and new features and generate more value for the vehicle manufacturer as well as the customer, connected vehicle is the overarching enabler.
Also, in the last twelve months, the industry has advanced to software-defined vehicles, presenting brand new challenges. This surge in interest is SDV does not mean connected vehicles stop existing. In fact, the connected ecosystem has become much more prominent as the automotive world progresses towards SDV, requiring full connectivity between the vehicle and the cloud.
In a ground-breaking update, the US Department of Commerce is taking steps towards redefining what connected vehicle means and a notice for proposed rulemaking (NPRM) will soon prohibit transactions involving connected vehicle technology manufactured by certain countries. This legislation will likely affect OEM product development pipeline and raises new concerns around compliance.
Right here right now, the end goal for OEMs is increasing profitability and value-creation, for their organizations. How are vehicle manufacturers viewing connected services from service, value and SDV perspective? What is the US OEM's focus with respect to connected services and how have business models been created to monetize connected services and connected car data? These are just some of the questions that are top of the mind.
While the industry is working hard towards these high-growth connectivity goals, this is a long journey with many challenges and a steep learning curve for that the industry will need to go through.
We invite you to the Connected Vehicles USA 2025 as we delve into the latest business models, use cases from connectivity experts, using connectivity to reach more customers and deliver better customer experiences, address the biggest connected data challenges, and take a look at next-generation connected services, Generative AI technologies, 5G/6G capabilities that are enabling ROI and value-creation opportunities.
Focus on Security & The Actual Threat Landscape for Connected Vehicles - Understand what the actual security concerns are for connected vehicle technology and what OEM's should be defending against.
Use Cases of Connected Vehicle Data Analytics - Brainstorming around vehicle analytics to optimise costs within the organisation, new product re-design and advanced L4/L5 autonomy.
Understand How Software Defined Vehicles Change the In-Vehicle Architecture in Connected Vehicles - Comprehend the impact SDVs will have to enable connected features and service that customers will expect from connected vehicles.
How V2X Technology Can Improve Safety for VRU's - How do we start thinking of connectivity as not just an 'entertainment feature' but also as a 'safety feature'.
This was a great event because there was a mix of both breakout sessions, panels and solo speakers. The content was good and I was able to reach out or talk with companies I thought were of interest.
This event has great value due to 2 things: (i) allowing the various speakers to express their ideas/opinions, and (ii) allowing enough time for networking and 1:1 discussions to further delve into that speaker's ideas and additional topics.
This represents a great center place to align on future industry trends and collectively enhance our experience to customers.
