Get your copy of The Evolution of SDV presentation by Arnav Dhawan and Aaron Dale at S&P Global, who together, presented at the Automotive Cyber Security, Connectivity and SDV week in November 2023. The topics covered in this presentation will be continued at the Connected Vehicles USA 2024 conference, with sessions focusing on how will SDVs change the in-vehicle architecture.

In this presentation, both Arnav and Aaron provided a comprehensive overview of the burgeoning SDV market, emphasising the huge potential it holds for automakers.

Key topics:

• Connected car trends: Services & Over-the-air (OTA) feature updates and upgrades

• Consumer insights and value perception

• Monetisation – New business model: paid vehicle features – Connected services subscription

Key takeaways:

• Over-the-air updates enable continuous improvement of user experience, but the supply chain and competitive ecosystem must adapt.

• Automakers embrace the opportunity to reinvent business models and target new recurring revenue streams, but strategy varies.

• Automakers must understand customers’ perceived value of connected service or paid features to balance both subscription rate and revenue.

While safety has always been a huge concern and priority for the industry, in recent years there has been a dominating focus on how connectivity can be used for infotainment and entertainment features within the vehicle. As connected vehicles continue to progress, the industry’s focus is shifting into a heavier focus on safety not just for the main occupant of the vehicle, but pedestrians and other drivers on the road. Wanting to know more on how safety can be achieved through connectivity, Automotive IQ spoke with Hanan Alhaddi, Guest Lecturer on Strategy, University of Oxford Industry Expert on Strategy and Innovation, Leading OEM/T1 Supplier who gave valuable insights on this.

Discussion highlights:

• How to start thinking of connectivity as not just an ‘entertainment feature’ but also as a ‘safety feature’
• How to assure that everything is communicated, from vehicle to pedestrians, vehicle to infrastructure, and vehicle to vehicle
• The vehicle’s ability to avoid road accidents
• The measures OEMs can take to collaborate with traffic safety administrators
• Connectivity tools to effectively improve safety How V2X can play a part in improving safety for the driver, passenger, pedestrians and other drivers
• The current problems being faced that vehicle-to-vehicle communication can solve.
  

Learn from Michele Mueller - Sr. Project Manager, Connected and Automated Vehicles, Michigan Department of Transportation on the electric vehicle charging infrastructures that are put in place in the USA to prevent possible attacks.

EVs with bi-directional charging either take or give energy to the grid, which increases the risk of attacks, get your copy of this interview to learn how this can be prevented.

Nayuta Yamasaki shares insights on the diverse range of connected services offered by OEMs, including information services, remote control capabilities, and advanced security features. This interview also explores key areas for future development including a growing focus on cloud-based solutions and Feature-on-Demand services.

Discussion highlights:

• How OEMs are currently prioritising the development and integration of connected services in their vehicles.
• The key considerations for deciding between subscription models and one-time payment options for the connected services customer.
• Which baseline connected services are OEMs deciding to monetize, and what factors influence this decision.
