  2. Auto Start-up Landscape Trends: Disaggregation of the Automotive Value Chain Penetration of software in to the car has led to the emergence of multiple players within the Automotive Ecosystem, thereby disaggregating the entire value chain Autonomous, Electric & Ride-Sharing With increasing need for safer, cheaper & eco-friendly transport and with the advent of AI & on-demand services, Autonomous Technologies, Electric Vehicles & Ride-Sharing are the hottest technology areas in the automotive start-up landscape New Tier 1s MobilEye and Mando develop systems for Tesla’s electric cars most noteable being the model S. (MobilEye’s partnership with Tesla recently shut down and Mando was onboarded as the new Tier 1 for Tesla’s cars ) Tier 1s – Aggressive Acquirers Disaggregation of the Automotive Value chain has left the Tier 1 suppliers at the risk of becoming irrelevant. Hence, the Tier 1s are on an acquisition spree to increase their capabilities in Software Delphi acquired self driving technology provider Ottomatika following joint projects for CES. Delphi posted improvements in profits in the quarter following the acquisition. Harman acquired cyber security telematics company Towersec to protect points of vulnerability in connected and autonomous cars including hardware, network and over-the-air updates (OTA) Interest from Non-Automotive Corporates Corporate VCs from sectors that are Non-Automotive like Financials Services, Internet Companies, Electronics Manufacturers have made investments in the Automotive Start-ups. Intel, Qualcomm, Samsung, Google, nVidia and Softbank are major investors in Auto Tech companies Bay Area – Hotbed for Automotive Innovation Being the hub for software innovation globally, Bay Area has thereby developed the ecosystem necessary to nurture Automotive Innovation With disruption and competition increasing from start-ups, the OEMs and Tier 1s are resorting to different ways to collaborate and co-innovate with the Start-ups Honda set up an open innovation lab for R&D in connected vehicles, HMI, big data and apps Volkswagen’s Electronics Research Lab focusses on ADAS, autonomous driving, HMI and mobility solutions GM’s advanced technology lab in Silicon valley is a listening post to identify high relevance star-ups for collaboration These labs have partnerships with third party accelerators like Tech Stars and Plug-n-Play to accelerate the pace of innovation.
