1. Your vehicle’s software is just as important as its logo.
Software-defined vehicles (SDVs) will be known more for their user interface than their specifications and company.
2. Your car updates itself and offers updates on demand.
As cars become more software-enabled and connected to the internet, their ability to self-heal and update themselves will increase. The car still has a long way to go before it becomes as interactive as our phone, but it is clear that the evolution is similar.
3. For Generation Z, car ownership can become a thing of the past.
Thanks to hybrid working, many employees no longer have to drive to the office every day. Young people want the convenience of a car, but they don’t want the traditional ownership model, which is usually expensive, responsible and inflexible. The “pay a car only when you need it” scheme will become increasingly popular. Options: subscription, car sharing or one-off rental service.
4. Your car makes an appointment with the service before you know there is a problem.
Connectivity built into vehicles means technicians can receive diagnostic information in advance so they can order the parts they need. This will relieve drivers of some of the responsibility for identifying vehicle maintenance problems and improving road safety.
5. Your future electric car can run on hydrogen.
In many cities around the world, drivers now have to wait more than an hour to charge their electric cars at public charging stations. The researchers see an alternative in hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.
