The document discusses how big data will impact transportation through the concept of a "Zero Dollar Car". It describes how vehicle connectivity and data collection from sensors could allow car manufacturers to offer vehicles for $0 up front by subsidizing the cost through data monetization and selling packaged sensor data. Two scenarios are presented: 1) Selling sensor packages separately could generate $60,000 in revenue. 2) An ecosystem subsidy of $5,500 per year for 5 years could also offset the $27,500 base price of a vehicle. The document argues this model could make new vehicles affordable through data revenue streams.
