Over the course of just a few decades, the mobile phone has become one of the most significant innovations in history, connecting six billion people globally and transforming the way we communicate and access information, entertainment and the vast resources of the Internet. But a new wave of connectivity is on the horizon. In the future, everyone and everything around us that might benefit from a wireless connection will have one. We will see connected cars, commercial vehicles, freight, buildings, medical monitors, televisions, game consoles and a whole range of connected consumer electronics and household appliances. Many of these will be connected intelligently, communicating and interacting with each other. The automotive industry has the potential to play a transformative role in this connected future by delivering new services such as: on-demand, in-car entertainment low-cost pay-as-you-drive insurance location-enabled security features real-time fleet management Sizing up the potential To achieve this market potential, the automotive and mobile industries need to work closely together to deliver scalable, secure, interoperable, ubiquitous and intuitive connected experiences.
