The Revolution Of The Car Industry

The automotive industry has already begun moving toward life-cycle monetization, rather than focusing on revenues at point of sale and in the aftermarket. Several developments may increase this trend. First, sales will increasingly shift online, with 20 to 25 percent of vehicles expected to be sold through this channel by 2025. Similarly, subscription models will become increasingly popular, with respondents to McKinsey’s European Auto Financing Survey 2020 expecting the subscription market to form 20 percent of the total retail-financing revenues by 2025. These developments underline the importance of taking a life-cycle perspective and will increase the opportunity for monetizing connected services.To capture new opportunities, OEMs and suppliers are looking at OTA feature updates and connected-service unlocks to generate new revenue streams throughout a vehicle’s life cycle.

Cars generate data about how they are used, where they are, and who's behind the wheel. But how can industry players in the evolving automotive ecosystem turn these data into valuable products and services?

L’industrie de l’automobile a changé. Comme l’explique Brian Rhodes, analyste spécialisé chez IHS Markit, ce marché ne se limite plus à vendre du matériel. [...] La priorité nouvelle de l’industrie est donc de parvenir à monétiser ces données.

L’institut McKinsey estime ainsi qu’une voiture connectée génère environ 25 000 mégaoctets de données en une heure. À titre de comparaison, une heure de streaming vidéo ne produit que 829 mégaoctets de données. La monétisation des données collectées via une voiture connectée serait une véritable manne financière pour le Big Data. Les compagnies d’assurances pourraient par exemple payer afin d’avoir accès à des informations sur les habitudes de conduites de leurs assurés.

Days ago, BYD announced the first shipment of 100 all-electric BYD Tang SUVs had left the Port of Shanghai on June 7, bound for dealerships in Norway near the end of this summer, with 1,500 slated for delivery before 2022, according to a press release from the company. This represents a substantial step for EV manufacturers in China, as BYD forges a path other companies, like Xpeng, Aiways, NIO, and SAIC's MG intend to follow.

Cruise scored a huge win today when it became the first “driverless” autonomous vehicle (AV) passenger service to be authorized to operate in California. The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) authorized Cruise, LLC to participate in California’s first pilot program. The CPUC’s Driverless Pilot program enables passengers to ride in a test vehicle that operates without a driver in the vehicle. One of the constraints of the program is that Cruise may not charge passengers for any rides in test AVs.

The Model Y’s windshield wipers previously featured one water nozzle on each wiper. With the refreshed 2021 Model Y, that number has been upped to two water outlets at the end of each wiper, and an additional three nozzles on each wiper arm. With all Model 3 and Model Y deliveries from May 2021 and onward ditching radar and relying entirely on cameras for Autopilot, it is quite possible that the windshield washing system was upgraded to improve visibility for the vehicle’s camera array.

Local Motors, which is in the design and manufacturing of autonomous vehicles, announced, they’ve reached a strategic agreement with door2door, a Berlin-based mobility software, and technology company, to develop ride-pooling software for Local Motors’ electric autonomous vehicle, Olli 2.0. This is the first step between the two parties in making Olli an integrated ecosystem and the most efficient, flexible solution for municipalities and private campuses in Europe.

Included with AT&T unlimited In-car Wi-Fi and available on certain Honda and Acura models, the WarnerMedia RIDE App now allows passengers to connect multiple devices in their vehicles to browse, stream and share premium content from the WarnerMedia library while on the road.

« Hydrogen is in itself a paradox. The most abundant element in the universe, it is rare in the molecular state on earth : very light (eleven times lighter than air), it escapes easily from the atmosphere. It is found combined with other elements (60% of molecules contain hydrogen), such as oxygen (water=H2O) or carbon (organic matter, methane=CH4...). It is thus necessary, before being able to use it or store it, to spend energy to produce it in order to dissociate it from the elements to which it’s bonded.»

The brand-new and fully self-driving vehicle has been developed to match the highest level in international driving automation classification. It pursues the new mobility concept providing quick, safe, and comfortable transportation for passengers through cutting-edge IT and automotive technologies.

Parkopedia first launched in-car payments in 2014 with the successful parking payments platform delivered in partnership with Volvo. Now, the global leader in digital parking services, Parkopedia aims to simplify how drivers make payments for their wider vehicle-based purchases, by consolidating multiple global merchants into one account. In-car payments for vehicle services can mean having to deal with hundreds of merchants. Parkopedia’s new platform aggregates these merchants and eliminates the existing barriers to entry, such as the need to swipe a card to unlock a charging station, or to pay for fuel, delivering a heightened level of connected service to drivers and simplifying management for automakers.

In the first meeting of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, held in 1883, the association’s president predicted that such vehicles would soon be ubiquitous on urban streets. Many city residents were deeply uneasy with that vision. As the late historian Clay McShane described in his book Down the Asphalt Path, “steamers” were dirty and noisy, and their immense weight tore up urban pavement. Worse, the boilers of steam engines had a terrifying habit of exploding. That was bad enough in a rural area, but it could be catastrophic in a neighborhood or an industrial zone. In 1867 alone, McShane documented boiler explosions in several cities — including Philadelphia, Newark, Cleveland, New York City and Milwaukee — that collectively claimed dozens of lives.

Mile Auto is changing the way car insurance is purchased with an offering that requires drivers to pay only for what they use. By leveraging onboard telematics data from current Ford models, Ford owners can choose to share mileage data with Mile Auto. Mile Auto does not require smartphones, mobile apps or other hardware to take advantage of lower rates.

During the 2019 Tesla Autonomy Day for Investors, Musk even went so far as to say "Lidar is a fool's errand, and anyone relying on lidar is doomed." The message doesn't get much clearer than that. Yet, almost every company currently working on self-driving cars uses lidar technology. Think: Uber, Waymo, Toyota, and more. But not Tesla.
So it comes as some surprise that a Tesla Model Y was caught and photographed in Palm Beach, Florida with Luminar lidar sensors strapped to its roof. Grayson Brulte snapped the moment and shared his images on his Twitter account on May 20. Could this be a turning point for Tesla, Musk, and lidar?

Many in Silicon Valley promised that self-driving cars would be a common sight by 2021. Now the industry is resetting expectations and settling in for years of more work.
