Automotive & EV

Electrification, autonomy, and shifting consumer expectations are transforming the automotive industry. Traditional automakers face immense pressure as electric vehicles (EVs) rise and autonomous driving technology accelerates, fundamentally changing product roadmaps and required capabilities. Supply chain disruptions, exemplified by global semiconductor shortages, have exposed the fragility of current manufacturing models. Meanwhile, new entrants and tech companies are capturing market share with innovative business models, from direct-to-consumer sales to mobility-as-a-service offerings. Consumers now expect cars to be smart devices with continuous software upgrades and personalized experiences, challenging legacy OEMs to become technology companies as much as manufacturers.
