A Future in Mobility Through Connectivity and Analytics
With excitement in emerging autonomous vehicle capabilities, vehicle owners and ride-sharers will be looking for added value to their vehicles. Whether this be a predictive maintenance schedule or oil changes brought to your vehicle- customers’ expectations of their vehicles are changing. Recent studies have shown that by 2030, revenues from vehicle manufacturing will not grow to the levels they have been previously, but rather that profits from the typical vehicle sales model will shrink (Accenture, 2018).
Instead, customers will turn to mobility solutions.
In this new fast-paced technology space, OEM’s will have to offer these services to anticipate and deliver the features that customers value. As part of Ford Smart Mobility, we are working to address these technologies and partner with other innovative companies to offer an experience instead of just a means of transportation. Ford’s vision in mobility is to become a “leader in connectivity, mobility, autonomous vehicles, the customer experience and data and analytics… Designed to compete like a startup company, Ford Smart Mobility LLC will design and build mobility services on its own and collaborate with start-ups and tech companies.” (Ford, 2016)
I have had the opportunity to work on these emerging partnerships during my time at Ford, supporting partnerships with Amazon and Google through enabling vehicle features. This role in connectivity led me to join the analytics arm of mobility, to find value in the opportunities that a fully connected vehicle fleet offers.
Technology is disrupting the automotive industry faster than ever before. Automakers are adapting to the need to not only build for the now, but simultaneously innovate for the future. Through this presentation, I hope to show you how Ford is playing in this space and the many opportunities that are present for us as young engineers.
