Samenvatting
This whitepaper, written by both CAR and KPMG, reflects the results of interviews with more than 25 thought leaders, automotive and high-tech executives, and government officials, as well as analysis of industry trends, and provides insight on the convergence of sensor-based and communication-based vehicle technologies and its implications. The automobile industry appears to be on the cusp of revolutionary change, with the potential to dramatically reshape not just the competitive landscape but also the way people interact with vehicles, and indeed, the future design of roads and cities. The revolution, when it comes, will be engendered by the advent of autonomous or 'self-driving' vehicles. (Author/publisher)
