The Future of Automotive 2035
UnfoldLabs
June 17, 2021
Welcome to the new world of AutoTech— the fusion of electric, self-driving automobiles, and ride-hailing to build a new economy that will thrive. This new amalgamation, which is linked to digital networks and a slew of amazing technology, has the potential to upend the global vehicle industry!
Newly empowered market participants, such as suppliers, on-demand platforms, digital giants, and cities that have an active role in mobility, will challenge automotive OEMs' competitive positions.
I also foresee a broader lifetime of better-informed consumers and greater transparency in the future. Consumers will make decisions based on information rather than marketing. Technological advancements are rapidly moving to a future in which the car performs most driving functions. Although legislation and regulations are proving more difficult to manage.
I have no crystal ball, but the technology and consumer today suggest a clear direction towards these trends for 2035.
