Future trend in I&M: The smarter car

As climate change continues to remain as one of the biggest global challenges in modern times, governments across the world are tightening vehicle emissions standards, thus driving the rapid development in vehicle electrification. With mechanical components and systems being replaced by electrical counterparts, the natural progression of technology is the increasing use of electronics in a vehicle. Accordingly, some of the biggest innovation trends in the automotive industry today include the increased use of automation, artificial intelligence (AI) and computing infrastructure in a vehicle. Indeed, the car today is much more like a computer compared to its horseless carriage ancestor.
