A more connected future
Electric Vehicles may be the most talked about megatrend, but the less visible megatrend of Connected Vehicles can qualify as a bigger megatrend, and something which is also influencing the user experience like never before. At an estimated $ 17 billion in 2023, it’s a big market, and growing bigger, in India.
Road ahead for the connected vehicle megatrend
We at ETAuto saw the Connected Vehicle tech as significant enough to launch an annual conference on the megatrend five years ago. The fifth edition of the conference, hosted in Chennai on 20th February, saw a host of industry leaders and technologists share their valuable insights on how the connected trend is offering new value propositions, and the road ahead.

Connectivity beyond the vehicle
In an increasingly connected world, it’s not only the vehicles that are enhancing their value proposition with the new technology. Connected tech is also influencing the way they are produced. The value proposition of connected tech is also leading to new collaborations. Find out in the report below about the reasons behind a latest collaboration, between Hyundai and Samsung.

Collaborations between regions
Talking about collaborations, India and the EU are set to join hands to collaborate on multiple areas to enhance their competitiveness in new-age technologies, and also counter China. Details in the report below.

Autonomous tech for underwater vehicles
Autonomous tech is not limited to on-road driverless vehicles. It’s making its way to underwater vehicles too. Here’s another collaboration that has taken place to push the autonomous technology envelope under water too.

Leveraging AI to unlock more value
AI (Artificial Intelligence) is making swift inroads into businesses. A key reason for it is the potential it has in boosting productivity. Leveraging Ai can help the auto sector boost productivity by over 30% across the value chain, says an EY Report. Details below.

EVs, not an easy game
Electric Vehicles (EV) may be the future, but building an EV business is no easy task. That may also explain why the EV megatrend is also fueling a series of collaborations across the world. Multiple EV makers have discovered that the hard way. Nikola, an American electric truck maker, is the latest.

Hyperloop: the next frontier of transportation technology
Today railway travel is largely electric. In the future, say within a decade, it could be powered by electro-magnetic technology. That’s what the hyperloop mode of transportation runs on. Indian Railways sees hyperloop as a mode of future mobility, and that’s why it’s partnered with IIT Madras incubated deep tech start-up TuTr hyperloop to develop what could be India’s first, and possibly the world’s most cost competitive hyperloop project. Will India succeed where some players from the West haven’t yet?
