Accenture "The 2018 Top Ten Automotive Predictions"
A breakthrough of “in-vehicle” AI and algorithm solutions will be the most important next step in auto technology in the coming twelve months.
MORE RHYTHM IN THE ALGORITHM
The connectivity is there, the computing power is there, and the data are there—connected cars create up to 25 GB of them in an hour. What’s been missing, however, are means to interact with that data in seamless and smart ways that enhance the driving experience without distracting drivers.
BLOCKCHAIN MAKES AN ENTRANCE
Blockchain, the encryption solution using public “ledgers” to secure digital payments, might very soon be used to authenticate drivers, cars and car parts, data transmissions, and other parts of the digital puzzle that is the “digitized” auto industry.
There’s a plethora of use cases, from supply chain management to car sharing interactions to preventing odometer fraud and both OEMs and suppliers are already embracing most of them.
