If your business involves managing a large fleet of cars, the information here is crucial for you.
The automotive industry is undergoing very rapid transformation with tech development at break-neck speed. Decisions made now can literally make or break your company in the near future.
When devising strategies and business models, you need to holistically consider all users and groups affected by transport issues.
The car of the future will have 5 key features:-
It will be electrified
It will be autonomous
Shared usage will become more common,
AI will play an increasingly important role in the soft-tech to help you stay connected
Tech will be moving at break-neck speed with new features push out yearly or shorter
A summary from a review by a PWC group concluded that:-
The mobility of the future will be much easier, more flexible and more individual for users.
The car of the future will be used and shared - "on demand".
Technology is certainly advancing much faster than before, and even faster than automotive evolution is the rapid advances of charging trends. An information summary can be found in "Evolution of Charging Trends".

The top 10 new automotive technologies that will be shaping and revolutionizing the automotive industry are:-
Autonomous Driving: Autonomous vehicles are capable of navigating and driving without human intervention. They are fitted with special sensors, artificial intelligence, and advanced algorithms that make self-driving cars a reality.
Electric Powertrains: The electric revolution in the automotive world comes with advancements in battery technology, electric motors, and charging infrastructure that are driving the widespread adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) and transforming the way we think about transportation.
Augmented Reality Displays: New Immersive technology puts you into the world of augmented reality (AR) displays, which overlay digital information onto the real-world view inside the car. Witness the integration of AR technology in windshields, providing vital information such as navigation, speed, and safety alerts in a non-intrusive and intuitive manner.
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS): The latest advancements in ADAS include features like adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and automatic emergency braking. These systems use sensors and cameras to enhance safety and provide a more comfortable driving experience.
Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) Communication: The power of the fast advancing V2X communication enables vehicles to exchange information with other vehicles, traffic infrastructure, and pedestrians. The potential benefits include improved road safety, reduced traffic congestion, and enhanced efficiency.
Connected Car Technology: We are entering the era of connected cars, where vehicles can connect to the internet and communicate with other devices. They include features like real-time traffic updates, remote vehicle control, and integration with smart home devices, providing convenience, entertainment, and a seamless digital experience.
Biometric Vehicle Access: You will be able to experience the future of vehicle access with biometric technology. Imagine how fingerprint or facial recognition systems can replace traditional keys, providing enhanced security, convenience, and a personalized driving experience.
Advanced Lighting Systems: Such systems illuminate the road ahead with advanced lighting systems, such as adaptive headlights and matrix LED technology. These systems dynamically adjust the light pattern to improve visibility and enhance safety for both the driver and other road users.
Gesture Control: Wave goodbye to traditional buttons and knobs with gesture control technology. You can just with simple hand movements control various functions in the car, including adjusting the volume, answering calls, or navigating through infotainment systems.
Holographic Displays: Step into the future with holographic displays that bring information and entertainment to life within the car. Witness the integration of holographic technology into dashboards, providing three-dimensional visualizations and a truly immersive experience.
These top ten advancements will be outdated soon. Can you imagine autonomous flying cars in the near future? Well, you might not have to wait too long as the technology is actually already available and undergoing further development and trials.
