Is the automotive industry really prepared to be connected?
Is the Automotive Industry really prepared to be connected? Gregg Garrett of CGS Advisors addressed that question on an Automotive World webinar, ahead of their upcoming Automotive Megatrends Conference (http://automotivemegatrendsusa.com/).
“While most people think of vehicle technology like Autonomous Vehicles, Infotainment, V2V/V2I and Telematics — the disruption that connected technology creates is broader than just these upcoming technologies,” said Garrett. “This is the next technological discontinuity, an opportunity for Automakers and Suppliers to establish a new connection with their customers.”
