Key Highlights
Investment sharing is a big motivation in costly R&D areas such as electrification, autonomous drive, new AI applications and extending digital processes throughout the manufacturing value chain.
Many connected services will be revolutionized by the speed and quantity of data transmission enabled by the new 5G connectivity standard. This is beginning to roll out across large cities and is seen as crucial for applications such as AVs that transmit and receive great swathes of data.
Legislation for AVs is likely to be an emerging theme going into 2020 because many self-driving technologies are maturing and will need legal permission to begin production.
While many of AR’s potential uses will be in the cabin and focused on consumers, it will also prove useful in vehicle production. Through AR, automakers can plan the layout of a factory without moving a single machine, or see how easy it is for an assembly worker to perform a particular process without affecting the regular production line.
