Vehicles are no longer defined by just their make and model, but by their safety features, connectivity, HMI, and propulsion systems. Today’s global automotive ecosystem is now defined through a series of collaborations between integrated technology from multiple sources. This requires collaborative business models between organizations and industries to ensure all voices are speaking in harmony to meet customer expectations.
