In this report, I will take an in-depth look at how the car is being transformed through technology, and what the economic consequences of that transformation will be for the many stakeholders in the auto industry around the globe - the auto manufacturers, suppliers, technology and software companies, fleet operators, mobile network operators, insurance agencies, mechanics, the final users, and others. First of all, I will put it all in context, and look at the market shifts and structural changes that are underpinning the current and future development of the connected car and autonomous vehicle. Finally, I will explain my idea about a future business model, about a single system working harmoniously, rather than many separated entities competing and exchanging only few data. I will try to show that it is not necessary to pump more investment into the Smart Car or autonomous driving technologies, but to invest more thoughtfully: to recognize where your company strengths fit with the new technologies, and how to build the capabilities to differentiate the company and stand out in the new technological environment. The real winners, in this evolving market, will be those players, which collaborate with each other across industry lines to create new sources of revenue. By adopting this strategy, auto companies can enhance their profitability, working with various cross-industry collaborators to create shared merchandising packages of interest to consumers. This approach also will offer new avenues for reaching potential customers and foster relationships via the digital space.
In questo elaborato, analizzerò in profondità come la macchina si sta trasformando attraverso la tecnologia, e quali saranno le conseguenze economiche di questa trasformazione per i molti attori del settore auto in tutto il mondo - le case automobilistiche, i fornitori, aziende tecnologiche e sviluppatori di software, gestori del traffico, operatori di rete mobile, agenzie assicurative, meccanici, e gli utenti finali. Prima di tutto, sarà utile riunire tutto in un unico contesto, e guardare le mutazioni del mercato e i cambiamenti strutturali che stanno alla base dello sviluppo attuale e futuro dell'auto connessa e del veicolo autonomo. Infine, spiegherò la mia idea di un modello di business futuro, basato sulla visione di un unico sistema che lavora in armonia, invece di svariate entità separate concorrenti e che condividono pochi dati. Cercherò di dimostrare che non è necessario investire impetuosamente nella Smart Car o tecnologie di guida autonoma, ma occorre investire in modo più ponderato: riconoscere quali sono i punti di forza dell'azienda che si adattano con le nuove tecnologie, e come sviluppare capacità per differenziare l'azienda e distinguersi nel nuovo ambiente tecnologico. I veri vincitori, in questo mercato in continua evoluzione, saranno quei player, che collaboreranno tra di loro in modo trasversale a più industrie per generare nuove fonti di reddito. Con l'adozione di questa strategia, le aziende automobilistiche possono migliorare la loro redditività, lavorando con vari collaboratori cross-industry per creare un’offerta unica, combinata, comune, di interesse per i consumatori. Questo approccio offrirà anche nuove strade per raggiungere nuovi potenziali clienti e promuovere i rapporti attraverso il mondo digitale.

Abstract
In this report, I will take an in-depth look at how the car is being transformed through technology, and what the economic consequences of that transformation will be for the many stakeholders in the auto industry around the globe - the auto manufacturers, suppliers, technology and software companies, fleet operators, mobile network operators, insurance agencies, mechanics, the final users, and others. First of all, I will put it all in context, and look at the market shifts and structural changes that are underpinning the current and future development of the connected car and autonomous vehicle. Finally, I will explain my idea about a future business model, about a single system working harmoniously, rather than many separated entities competing and exchanging only few data. I will try to show that it is not necessary to pump more investment into the Smart Car or autonomous driving technologies, but to invest more thoughtfully: to recognize where your company strengths fit with the new technologies, and how to build the capabilities to differentiate the company and stand out in the new technological environment. The real winners, in this evolving market, will be those players, which collaborate with each other across industry lines to create new sources of revenue. By adopting this strategy, auto companies can enhance their profitability, working with various cross-industry collaborators to create shared merchandising packages of interest to consumers. This approach also will offer new avenues for reaching potential customers and foster relationships via the digital space.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
