Hi there,
The auto industry is facing a massive wave of change.
First and foremost: the shift toward electric, software-defined vehicles.
This shift is demanding more agility and flexibility from automakers.
We’ve highlighted Tesla’s advantage here before, with comments from Ford Motor Company CEO Jim Farley on the difficulties legacy auto manufacturers face in wrangling their value chains.
Now enter AI.
New capabilities are changing the way automakers design, build, sell, and repair vehicles.
We identified 15 high-momentum tech markets that the auto industry should be watching here. They span the entire automotive value chain including:
- R&D (e.g., generative design)
- Production & assembly (e.g., manufacturing AI copilots)
- Sales & distribution (e.g., digital engagement platforms)
- Vehicle use (e.g., automotive cybersecurity)
- Aftermarket (e.g., automated vehicle inspection)
