Free whitepaper on growth and opportunities for connected cars to 2025

A new whitepaper, written by SBD for the GSMA, forecasts the growth and opportunities for connected cars until 2025, analysing not only how fast in-car connectivity will grow over the period, but what type of connectivity will eventually become predominant.

A new whitepaper, written by 4263 SBD for the 2246 GSMA, forecasts the growth and opportunities for connected cars until 2025, analysing not only how fast in-car connectivity will grow over the period, but what type of connectivity will eventually become predominant.

There are many reasons why connectivity in the car is likely to become ubiquitous over the next decade. However, for telecom operators, the universal future of in-car connectivity is not on its own sufficient reason to celebrate. In-car connectivity can be enabled for a range of different applications and various technologies. Some of these applications and technologies could prove more or less profitable for the telecoms industry.

The paper begins with a hypothesis: At some point in the future, every car will need to be connected to the outside world through a cellular network. The most user-friendly and secure way to enable this is by embedding a SIM card and a communication module inside the car. Therefore, the automotive market will naturally converge towards embedded telematics in the long term unless major barriers prevent this from occurring.

Although it concedes that the major barriers that have prevented this hypothesis from becoming a reality in the past still exist today, the whitepaper examines three distinct disruptive triggers that could eliminate many of the barriers that have prevented embedded telematics from succeeding.

Part of road barrier specialist ATG’s ‘Smart cities: Turning the dream into a reality’ report, the research found that more than half (57%) would be happy for their tax to go towards smart traffic lights, and 44% for smarter signs which give real-time traffic updates. Nearly a quarter (24%) said they would also be willing to fund smart barrie
