All Eyes to the Future at the Connected Cars Summit

In our modern world, we’re becoming increasingly connected. As individuals, we tend to have our mobile devices close at hand nearly all the time. These days we think nothing of chatting with a relative who lives at the other side of the world, or playing Scrabble with someone across the Atlantic. We’ve got used to being able to order our shopping from our laptop while in our pyjamas, paying our bills without having to leave our home and checking out heart rate with a glance at our smart watch. When you think about how much the world has changed over the last couple of decades, it’s quite mind-blowing and this rate of development is certainly not slowing down. More and more everyday household items are becoming connected, with a wide range of extra features available due to that connectivity.

Smart TVs are nothing new any more, opening up a wealth of programming you can watch whenever you want. Virtual assistants can be told to play our favourite music, help with a recipe suggestion and remind us of our appointments. You can even buy refrigerators that will automatically add food items to your shopping list when you’re running low. So it’s no surprise that our vehicles are also becoming increasingly connected, allowing communication with other systems outside of the car to bring even more functionality to our vehicles.

This is big business now, and will be increasingly so in the future, so the Connected Cars Summit brings together key industry stakeholders and the elite of the industry to discuss the future, identify and solve issues and improve the performance and the efficiency of connected cars.
