Participants from 30 countries were asked questions to determine which digital technologies are making the biggest impacts on this segment, as well as the toughest obstacles impeding the deployment of advanced vehicle architectures and seamless driving experiences.

Development of next-generation vehicle architectures 94% of those polled agree that digital technologies create exciting opportunities for vehicle architectures and driving experiences, and will require greater cooperation among stakeholders.

In less than five years, digital technologies will empower standard new vehicle features, including user interfaces via mobile app, streaming movies and TV, remote enablement of new/add-on features, subscription-model pricing for key features, safety and driver assistance, along with over-the-air software updates.

In ranking the biggest obstacles to building a data center on wheels, respondents cited cybersecurity, software quality, functional safety, connecting vehicles to the cloud as well as data storage and analysis.

More than two thirds of those surveyed believe software will cause more technology issues than hardware while over half agreed new services across the software ecosystem are needed, spanning operating systems, AI models, functional safety information and more.

More than half of the survey participants will look to consumer tech companies, cloud providers and suppliers with specific focus on digital tech for automotive help in enabling new capabilities.
