Connected Vehicles & Mobility Devices.

Data-driven vehicles, telematics, autonomy, and the infrastructure that keeps them moving

Connectivity is transforming every aspect of our lives—at home, at work, and everywhere in between. Connected cars are driving us toward autonomy and next-level entertainment, while smart devices, from kitchen appliances to keychains, seamlessly sync with digital content. Remote controls, automation, and analytics are making life more convenient, efficient, and sustainable. As the markets for connected mobility and devices accelerate, companies have exciting opportunities to innovate and open new market segments. However, these opportunities bring new challenges around data governance, artificial intelligence, trust and safety, and rapidly evolving digital regulations.
