Technology to rule the next five years

TECHNOLOGY EXPERT FORECASTS A SHIFT TO SOFTWARE-DEFINED VEHICLES WILL TRANSFORM THE GLOBAL AUTO INDUSTRY

Driven By Passion For 100 Years

DXC Technology, a leading Fortune 500 global technology services company, has forecast five ways the automotive industry will reshape our relationship with cars in the next five years.

The shift to software-defined vehicles is redefining every aspect of the automotive industry — from how cars are designed, and how they are made, to how we use and service them. Crucially, the car user’s relationship with the rich ecosystem of partners and services that makes up the auto industry is changing. Specialising in automotive software and platform-driven business models, DXC and Luxoft (a DXC company) see evidence that these five trends are accelerating.

Tomorrow’s cars will be software-defined vehicles (SDVs), with their features and functions controlled by software.

“SDVs will be known more for their user experience than their physical attributes. Software will create a direct connection between the car manufacturer and the customer, enabling platform-driven auto businesses which seamlessly deliver personalised services to customers via their vehicles,” said Matthias Bauhammer, global lead, robotic drive offering at DXC Technology.
