Ten ways autonomous driving could redefine the automotive worldStradablog
Autonomous vehicles will likely have a profound impact on society and the economy in three eras:
1) Before consumer availability, industrial fleets will lead adoption in mining, farming, and commercial transport. Car makers will define strategic stances on autonomous vehicle technology and development. New mobility models like car sharing will emerge.
2) In early consumer adoption, car maintenance will shift to original equipment manufacturers and insurers will cover manufacturers for technical failures rather than individual drivers. Supply chains will be optimized.
3) When autonomous vehicles are mainstream, drivers will have 50 extra minutes per day. Parking needs will decrease by over 5 billion square meters. Accident rates could drop 90%, saving over $190 billion annually
The automotive industry is changing rapidly, leading some in the field to a conclusion that soon cars may become the most technologically advanced products that consumers will ever buy.
The transition from a primarily mechanical-based to a software-based industry leads some to claim that car manufacturing is focusing less on transportation but rather on technology.
Since those changes will sooner or later affect most of the world’s population, it is fascinating to take a closer look as to what is currently happening in the automotive industry.
The report presents the car industry based on the Customer Value Canvas and will highlight innovation within the core product, added-value services, customer/shopping experience and brand communication, and as they are all important in customer’s overall impression.

The top 5 things planners need to know about self-driving vehiclesChris Hedden
There are numerous stories being written on self-driving vehicles today that are pretty impressive, and to be honest, almost a bit overwhelming.
In fact there are so many angles to the self-driving vehicle arena, that it is hard to know what we should be concerned about as transportation planners.
Inspired by a SlideShare I had seen by Jonathan Rosenberg at Google, my colleague, Dan Krechmer and I thought we would have some fun and talk about this exciting topic in a new way; which not only engages, but also informs.
We then teamed up with artist Ron Basile who brought our words to life; and did a heck of a job with the illustrations.
I hope you enjoy our perspective on this exciting development in transportation.

It proposes strategies for market segmentation, establishing the Volt as its own brand, and allocating marketing expenditures. Finally, it outlines specific tactics for digital advertising, promotions, social media marketing, and public relations. The overarching goal is to increase awareness, market share, interest and sales of the Volt through consistent branding and promotional strategies.
Our current consumption patterns are stretched to breaking point. Few would argue the need to fix our systems. It’s how to manage an economically viable and just transition that is making heads ache.
Future of autonomous vehicles final report ppt - may 2020Future Agenda
The Future of Autonomous Vehicles
The dream of self-driving vehicles has been a long time coming. It is however now within reach and the pressure is on the deliver on the vision. With sustained technology development, increased investment and raising public awareness, there is enormous interest in the imminent mainstream use of autonomous vehicles on the streets.
Although approaches vary from around the world, policy makers and urban planners in leading locations are now seeking to collaborate more with manufacturers, mobility providers, tech suppliers, logistics operators in order to align regulation for testing and mass deployment. And it goes both ways.
The investments being made in autonomy have rapidly shifted from millions to billions, so unsurprisingly those public and private organisations that are providing the funds are keen to ensure that the ROI is credible. There is much to play for and, although there has been substantial progress over recent years, significant questions on safety, social impact, business models and performance are still unanswered.
The Future of Autonomous Vehicles project was undertaken to canvas the views of a wide range of experts from around the world in order to create a clearer, informed global perspective of how autonomy will evolve over the next decade. Beginning with a discussion with government officials just outside Shanghai in July 2018 and ending with leaders from across the US autonomous vehicle community in the hills above Silicon Valley in February of 2020, this project has covered a lot of ground. In all, eight workshops and six additional discussions have engaged with hundreds of different opinions, shared perspectives and built considered future pathways.
This presentation of the final report is a synthesis of many voices and opinions on the likely future of autonomous vehicles. We hope that is useful.
Full project details are available on the dedicated mini site www.futureautonomous.org
This document discusses the development and future of autonomous vehicles (AVs). Some key points:
- Many major automakers and tech companies are developing and testing AVs with varying levels of autonomy, from single-lane highway driving to fully autonomous vehicles. Some models with partial autonomy may be available as soon as 2015-2016.
- AVs will likely see widespread adoption over 20 years, with premium vehicles leading the way. High initial prices may slow adoption. Factors like insurance costs, safety, and productivity could impact adoption rates.
- For AVs to become commercially viable, technological hurdles around sensor technology and software must be overcome. Regulators will also need to address liability laws, traffic regulations, and safety

Las organizaciones que hoy empiezan a despuntar, especialmente en el contexto digital, son aquellas que antes han comprendido que el rumbo de nuestro siglo no pasa ya por ofrecer en exclusiva buenos servicios a precios competitivos. Viene dado, ante todo, por una afán honesto y siempre ventajoso de potenciar y aprovechar lo mejor de nosotros mismos… aquello que, de hecho, nos hace especiales a profesionales, fans y consumidores: nuestros valores.
El mundo global e hiperconectado por el que avanzamos es, sin duda, mucho más exigente que el que heredamos. El superávit de información, la obsolescencia cada vez más temprana de nuestros conocimientos y herramientas, la aparición de nuevos hábitos de vida y de consumo y la aparente crisis del modelo productivo tradicional nos obligan hoy a generar modelos de negocio y estructuras de trabajo más flexibles, dinámicas y permeables. Y sólo la pasión, la colaboración, la autogestión, la transparencia, el liderazgo humano, el intraemprendimiento y la responsabilidad dentro y fuera de nuestras tiendas u oficinas parecen dar respuesta a lo que nos exige este nuevo tiempo: comportarnos no tanto como mercados, sino como lo que realmente somos. Es decir, personas.

This document discusses strategic planning and its key components. It defines strategic planning as a process where organizations define critical business strategies to provide direction and focus. Strategic planning is important because organizations that perform at high levels have formal strategic plans in place and implement them effectively. Key pieces of strategic planning include developing a mission statement, vision, values, analyzing strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats, setting goals and metrics to measure progress. Strategic planning provides alignment, communication and competitive advantages for organizations.

Disruptive Trends That Will Transform The Automotive IndustryStradablog
Technology-driven trends will revolutionize how industry players respond to changing consumer behavior, develop partnerships, and drive transformational change.
Transportation 2050 | The future of personal mobilityIdeafarms
A Delphi white paper in collaboration with Ideafarm s. Transportation 2050 presents a radical view of how personal mobility and Mobility as a Service (MaaS) will alter the landscape for transportation in ways that will be as disruptive to the automobile as the automobile was to the horse and buggy.
From electric cars to autonomous vehicles; and from entertainment on-the-go to vehicles that are semi-legal entities, Transportation 2050 provides a future view of mobility that offers a sustainable model for industry and the planet, while changing some of the most fundamental notions we have of the automobile's role, the business model for personal transportation, automobile ownership, and personal mobility.
Driverless cars have the potential to transform transportation by improving safety, reducing emissions and congestion, and increasing mobility. The UK is positioned to become a leader in this technology by establishing test programs in several cities and reviewing regulations in 2017. Fully autonomous vehicles could be on roads by 2020-2025, leading to major changes like decreased car ownership and the rise of driverless ride-sharing services. While this transition provides economic opportunities, it also threatens some existing jobs like professional drivers and presents new cybersecurity risks from hackers targeting connected vehicles.
#Sustainablemobility has been hailed as a new normal. Changing transport modes is a must for #sustainablecities and for reaching the #SDGs. Read more in our blog!
1) The mobility sector is undergoing transformation due to new political goals around sustainability, digital innovations, and new business models. This requires greater citizen engagement in development and more agile structures and leadership in organizations.
2) Smart mobility solutions will require integrating various transportation services along complex customer journeys, and involving citizens early in product design through methods like design thinking.
3) Public administrators and transportation companies will need more agile structures and leadership to navigate complex, fast-changing mobility demands and integrate diverse new services. Moving to cross-functional teams that incorporate frequent citizen feedback can help meet these challenges.
I compiled this presentation recently to summarize key aspects around electric cars from a layman perspective. The study touches upon interplay between industry and state in key markets with some enhanced focus on Europe
With the advancement in automobile technology, vehicles are now autonomous and more connected with our mobile devices than ever. Insurance companies around the world are more and more attracted to the concept of Pay How You Drive (PHYD). Today, in the motor insurance space, there are more than 165 deployments across 35 countries, representing approximately 5 million policies. The growth is exciting and promising.
This article outlines how PHYD can encourage better driving behavior and also suggest an effective solution that has the potential to reduce claims cost/ policy administration and price policies more effectively.

This document summarizes a report on the future of urban mobility. It introduces the updated Arthur D. Little Urban Mobility Index, which assessed 84 global cities. The key findings are:
- Most cities scored below half the potential score, indicating room for improvement. Only 11 cities scored above average.
- European cities achieved the highest scores on average but still have potential for growth.
- The report identifies three strategic directions for cities to improve mobility based on their current systems.
- Four dimensions are outlined for cities to consider when defining sustainable mobility policies: vision/strategy, supply, demand management, and financing.

Deloitte new roads to value creation-jan19Roger Atkins
This document summarizes key findings from the 2019 Deloitte Global Automotive Consumer Study regarding consumers' views and willingness to adopt various emerging automotive technologies. The study found that while interest in electric vehicles is growing, adoption may differ globally depending on factors like fuel prices and policy support. Consumer perceptions of autonomous vehicle safety have stalled due to high-profile accidents, and most want stronger government regulation of the technology. Interest in connectivity is high but consumers are wary of data collection and most are unwilling to pay significant premiums. Overall, transforming mobility on a large scale may be challenging as consumer behavior can be difficult to change.

Mobility in the 21st century: car ownership in germany - a relic of the past...Felix Rückl
This document discusses how car ownership in Germany may become a relic of the past due to changing customer expectations and trends toward more sustainable transportation options. Digitalization and mobility services like Uber, Car2go and DriveNow are reducing customers' need for private car ownership. A new concept called Mobility as a Service (MaaS) provides customers transportation options through a single app, similar to Netflix. The paper will examine how the German car industry and government have responded to these changes and whether they are adequately addressing challenges of climate change, pollution and sustainable transportation needed for the 21st century.

Infosys Insights: The state of the global automotive industry Infosys
'A car is just a couch on four wheels,' Geely chairman, Li Shufu, once famously said. While a tad oversimplified, this comment nevertheless highlights the fact that the car is becoming increasingly commoditized. Its value and importance are on a fast decline in some markets. Hence, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) have to identify and explore new revenue streams that the global automotive industry so desperately needs.
The document discusses the changing automotive industry and considerations for the market research industry. It notes that the industry will see more change in the next 5 years than the last 15 due to factors like evolving customer needs, mobility options, and retail experiences. Automakers will need to shift from product-focused to customer-centric models and offer new mobility solutions and retail experiences to remain competitive in this changing landscape. The market research industry must also adapt to help automakers design differentiated customer experiences and identify new retail formats.

The first of a series of investigations made by Allianz Global Investors deals with changes of the Dutch retirement system driven by fiscal pressure and the current low yield environment.
The document discusses upcoming changes to the Dutch pension system due to fiscal pressures and a low yield environment. The retirement entry age will increase to 67 in 2021 and be pegged to life expectancy going forward. Changes to tax advantages for pension savings will significantly lower accrual rates for occupational pensions. Current low yields have decreased pension fund funding levels, requiring emergency recovery plans that may include benefit cuts. The system is moving from a risk-based to a more regulated framework using an ultimate forward rate.

PIMCO DC Dialogue - First Manage Your RiskOpen Knowledge
In this PIMCO DC Dialogue, Professor Zvi Bodie, Norman and Adele Barron Professor of Management at Boston University, discusses with global investment managers PIMCO the difficulties people in the United States have assessing risk accurately, the attitude to risk they should adopt when it comes to retirement planning, and investment strategies for professionals and individuals alike, beginning with low-risk assets such as Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities.
Global financial assets grew 1.6% in 2011 to surpass EUR 100 trillion for the first time, however this growth rate was the lowest since 2008. The euro crisis and stock market volatility negatively impacted household wealth, especially in southern Europe. Overall since 2000, global per capita financial assets have only grown at the average inflation rate due to recurring financial crises. Continued uncertainty and low interest rates have led savers to prioritize liquidity and security over returns. Meanwhile, the emerging markets catch-up process has continued despite challenges in developed nations.

Space debris poses serious risks to satellites through collisions. There are over 16,000 cataloged pieces of space debris larger than 10 cm orbiting Earth. Collisions between satellites and space debris can cause critical or catastrophic damage. The amount of space debris is increasing as objects collide, producing more fragments. Beyond collision risks, solar storms can also damage satellites by disrupting electronics with radiation. While risks exist, insurance helps support the space industry by covering satellites and launch vehicles.

Focus: The Future of Individual Mobility
While technology is changing mobility, so are new consumer attitudes
The nature of mobility is changing at incredible speed.
Ongoing trends like urbanization, rising fuel costs, envi-
ronmental consciousness, an aging society and digitalization
have influenced mobility highly and will continue to do so in
the future. Today’s consumers behave in a different way than
even a few years ago and the car is losing its relevance as a
status symbol.
Apart from the basic need to get from one place to another, modern
mobility concepts will have to fulfill an already vast and still growing
amount of requirements. Inventions like the driverless car, that enable
so far non-car users to drive, have the potential to further revolutionize
travel; it is obvious that they will require changes in regulation.
, The new mobility landscape is already becoming reality and it will not
only have an impact on individuals but also on companies and entire
industries. Innovative mobility business models and partnerships are
emerging. New players are already entering the mobility industry
along its value chain and challenging established business models. The
mobility market will develop very dynamically and a relatively stable and
structured environment will diversify and become a hotbed for new
business activity, changing society and many industries in its wake.
“When it comes to purchasing mobility, decisions
now increasingly include issues such as the carbon
footprint and social responsibility.” Clem Booth,

Michael Heise, Chief Economist of Allianz SE,
on Changing Mobility Trends
“The financial crisis and the related economic
downturn in much of Europe have led to a change
in consumption patterns of mobility, thereby
strengthening already existing economic shifting processes.
Whereas car sales in Asia are increasing steadily and North
America is stable, the European car market has been shrink-
ing continually since the beginning of the crisis. According to
forecasts a turnaround of this development is not to be expected
in the medium term.
The international car manufacturers and OEMs are shifting their
focus towards more promising markets, relocating production
and even R&D-capacities, in the wake of these developments.
The consequences for the European economy are numerous
and range from additional unemployment up to emigration of
knowledge and skilled labour.”
Growing consumer emancipation
A central aspect of the future of mobility is evolving consumer
behavior. We have seen a significant increase in collaborative
consumption of all kinds of appliances. As car-sharing for example
is leaving the niche, cars of professional car-sharing providers are
becoming a common sight in many medium and large cities. The
number of users is expected to increase up to 5.5 million by 2016
in Europe alone, according to a study by the consultancy Frost &
Sullivan (2010).1
At the same time in major western economies, the young genera-
tion has less interest in obtaining driving licenses as the IFMO
study (2011) shows.2
This trend is in accordance with declining
new car sales in Western Europe and reinforcing a general reluc-
tance to buy new cars.
In professional life, the development of high quality office-to-office-
communication is going to change the way business is conducted.
The use of video conferencing and virtual workplaces is leading to
further digitalization of the working environment eventually culmi-
nating in a reduction of business-related travel. In the attempt to
create more flexible working conditions, companies are also increas-
ingly expected to offer the option to work from home – at least
for a specified amount of time during the week. While home office
work is still not widely available, its increase will mean a decrease of
business-related travel.
Furthermore, companies will be pushed to provide sustainable
infrastructure, access to public transport and incentives like electric
company cars in order to achieve emission reduction targets and sat-
isfy the requirements of their employees and shareholders. Compa-
nies might also increasingly consider the reduction of their company
car fleet or may even be forced to do so by new regulation.
The large market of retail sales is going to affect mobility habits as well.
In the recent past, we have observed a steady increase in e-commerce
and home delivery.3
Already distance selling amounts to almost
10% of total retail sales in Germany. By the end of 2012 e-commerce’s
share of the total volume of distance selling in Germany rose more
than two thirds, showing potential to grow even further. Not only are
these distance sales facilitated by a ubiquitous internet, promising to
serve aging populations, but they can also lead to a decreasing need
of shopping-trips. According to the “National Travel Survey” of the UK
Department for Transportation (2011) the total number of shopping
trips decreased by 10% over a 15-year period.4
Car sharing is a skyrocketing trend
No longer in a niche: car sharing is growing in Germany and the USA.

fleets. At the same time as the introduction of these car-averse poli-
cies, car pools and a well-developed bicycle paths networks have
been created.
In emerging countries, too, car-averse regulation has been intro-
duced. In Indonesia’s largest city Jakarta, a regulation was put in
place requiring vehicles to carry at least 2 passengers, access to
some roads may further require cars to have 3 or more passengers.
Ironically this regulation has triggered a new business in Jakarta:
professional hitchhiking. Another example is Singapore, where
electronic road pricing with usage-based tolls that includes peak-
time adjusted pricing was implemented.
Reduction of CO2
emissions by changing cityscapes
In order to increase the quality of urban living, many cities have set
and communicated ambitious goals to reduce CO2
emissions. Mu-
nich has set its goal to reduce CO2
emissions between 1990 and 2030
by 50% and London is aiming at reducing emissions by 60% over the
same period. Copenhagen is even planning to be carbon-neutral by
2025. These targets obviously have implications for mobility in these
cities and all other cities in the world with similar aims. This has led to
a rise of car-averse regulation like the congestion charge in London
for example.
The question is what does this mean for combustion-engine cars.
Certainly, the increase in numbers of e-cars will support the efforts
of cities and put additional pressure on owners of conventional
vehicles to either switch to more environment-friendly means of
transport or alternatively avoid using them in the inner city areas.
Moreover, the public transport systems will have to be adapted
to the new reality of urbanization, demands for climate neutral
transport and demographic developments. The car as main source of
transport in cities will have to be at least partially replaced by public
transport and passenger capacity has to be increased as pictures
from Asia vividly show.
Demography influences mobility
The United Nations Population Division (2010)5
estimates that the
number of people aged 65 years and older will grow from today to
2025: In Germany, by 3 million (from 17 to 20 million), in the EU, by
10 million (from 35 to 45 million) and in the USA, by 22 million (from
42 to 64 million). In particular, the retirement of the so-called baby-
boomer generation (USA those born between 1940-60s; EU 1950s-
60s) will pose new challenges to mobility solutions. The question
of how an entire generation used to being mobile will actually stay
mobile with increasing age will become more pressing. This demo-
graphic reality in addition to increasingly strict regulation potentially
preventing older people from driving will require the attention of
business and politics alike.
“The over-75 group has a 45-percent greater risk
of causing an accident in comparison to younger
senior citizens. In an aging society the needs of old
people must be given greater attention.”
Christoph Lauterwasser, Managing Director of the
Allianz Center for Technology (AZT)

Car-averse regulation

Seniors at risk: Particularly at risk are people over the age of 75, who are involved
in a disproportionate number of accidents. Demographically, their numbers are
increasing rapidly.
Already 50% of the world’s population lives in cities. Almost two-
thirds will do so in 20 years’ time (UN 2011)6
. What does this devel-
opment imply for mobility, in particular, in cities? Clearly, the issue of
congestion, which is a challenge especially in emerging countries
with a soaring car-population, will have to be addressed to avoid a
collapse of urban mobility infrastructure.
Regulation is therefore one of the determining factors for the future
of mobility that can bring about changes in mobility consumption
quickly. In the past, there have been several examples of how regula-
tion has had an impact on mobility. After the congestion charge was
introduced in London during the 1990s, traffic in the city decreased
by 18% and public transport use increased. Also in the UK, changes
to company car taxation led to a significant drop in company car
Already ten percent of the Allianz management fleet in Munich has managers
driving on electricity in 2013.

Car ownership is an economic privilege
Due to increasing oil prices and regulation, owning a car has be-
come increasingly expensive and it is most likely that this devel-
opment will continue. In Germany, petrol prices rose by at least
30% since 2005. In the UK, costs have been identified as a central
reason for not driving a car among the younger generation (UK
Department for Transportation 2011). An important question is:
what is the tipping point when the gasoline price prompts people
to consider alternatives to cars? For Western Europe, it appears
that we have already passed the car peak, as the number of new
cars sold has been declining for years. Furthermore, the finan-
cial crisis has put many households under great financial pressure.
When weighing up the costs of car ownership against the benefits,
more and more people in the western world are deciding against

Even though the demand for new cars is increasing in Asia, there are natural boundaries to this development.
car ownership, especially since car sharing services have made
“just in case” access to cars easier than it used to be.
In the emerging countries, however, this point still seems to be on
the distant horizon. Here, rising household income is increasing the
size of the middle class and its purchasing power, with the result that
there is an immense demand for cars, a trend that is likely to con-
tinue. While car sales are still booming, these countries too will see
economic and social pressure influencing this trend soon: for Beijing
alone new car registration had to be capped officially at 240.000 per
year in 2012.

Top years of new car sales are behind us
This graphic shows the number of newly registered passenger vehicles in
European countries and China and new sales for the USA. There may be many
reasons for this trend: saturation of markets, financial crisis and changing
lifestyles. Notice the opposite trend in China.

Enabling mobility through technological innovation
The dominant factors affecting future mobility solutions are techno-
logical trends. A simple example depicts how the intelligent connec-
tion of two unrelated technological trends can create synergies and
spur the development of innovative mobility solutions: The increas-
ing number of smartphones has made the usage of car-sharing a
lot more convenient and attractive by simply displaying the location
of vacant and accessible cars on a map and in the case of MyTaxi and
others even serving as mode of payment.
Furthermore, technological advances driven by digitalization are
enabling additional services, these include the development of
telematics and its associated Pay-As-You-Drive and Pay-How-
You-Drive options. Vehicles are also being equipped with driver
assistance systems (e.g. parking assistant, automatic braking) with
the aim of correcting human errors, leading to fewer accidents. Even
if an accident cannot be prevented, the mandatory emergency-call
function, which will be introduced EU-wide by 2015, will help to de-
crease the reaction times of emergency services, thereby increasing
road safety. These and other assistance systems will also reduce fuel
consumption and make driving more comfortable.
As these developments become more widespread, the issue of
mobility-related data and its ownership is gaining importance.
While the car evolves into an increasingly connected data-platform,
safe data transmission and systems security (e.g. from hacking) have
to be guaranteed to provide a safe driving experience.
A multitude of developments in technology as well as in society
and global economics affects our mobility habits. Whether it is
digitalization, the increasing importance and capabilities of assis-
tance systems or the rise of car sharing, mobility as we know it is
changing fundamentally. While some of these developments are
already being discussed individually, it is essential however to take
a holistic view in order to explore the interconnectedness of our
modern world and to understand new threats and opportunities
that evolve.
Telematics black box will one day
be mandatory
The telematics system for cars is similar to the black box in an
airplane; it serves as a kind of trip recorder. It collects data on
kilometers travelled and, with the help of GPS, computes in real
time other relevant data like the location, speed and type of
the road. In the near future it may not be anything more than a
software application that can be embedded in a smart phone.
Those collecting the data consider very well how they use the
data to make sure that privacy laws are not breached.
“One day we will buy Telematics like we buy
a smartphone, a computer or a TV. There will
be a wide range of mobility services including
insurance and assistance to choose from. An
early example of this concept is a self-installed
telematics device of Allianz Italy called Allie, which together
with a set of apps, gives the user a new way to use and interact
with their vehicle,” says Jacques Amselem, CEO of Allianz
Telematics.

How Driver Assistance Systems improve road safety
Allianz explains the six technologies that keep your car on the road. For example,
the ESP counteracts skidding on icy or wet roads, the BLIS keeps a constant watch of
what is happening in the blind spot and the lane departure warning keeps you firmly
in your lane.
