🛑 Where does your OEM rank on our new OTA Capability Rankings? 🛑 As OEMs pursue the Software-Defined Vehicle, OTA will play an increasingly significant role in the vehicle as it becomes more common and gradually matures. At the same time, as more OTA strategies, features, and technologies are rolled out, the landscape for it will evolve at an exponential rate – becoming deeper and more complex. As such, any OEM looking to develop or scale their own strategy must have a deep understanding of today’s OTA ecosystem, as well as an acute awareness of its key trends and technologies. Our OTA and Software Updates Guide deeply analyzes the OTA landscape to highlight the types of updates being delivered today, and the latest OEM activity around them. In the Insight below, we take a deep dive into our OEM OTA Capability Rankings, a key component of our OTA and Software Updates Guide, that assesses which OEMs are the most active in the OTA space and offer the best OTA capabilities.

🚨 Just released: Q2 Connected Car Legislation Guide 🚨 The connected car eco-system is evolving at a rapid pace. Today, legacy OEMs and suppliers are investigating how to enhance their offering to satisfy ever-changing consumer demands. At the same time, new players - including start-ups and consumer technology firms - are emerging who intend to explore opportunities to embed connectivity across the development, production, and user experience of their vehicles. As new connected vehicles, systems, features, and applications have launched over time - governments and governing bodies have historically responded with a variety of legal and regulatory activity. In the present day, where dozens of OEMs are releasing and updating new connected systems at an increasingly frequent rate, its legal landscape is becoming increasingly complex. The Connected Car Legislation Guide works to define this landscape clearly across multiple regions and countries around the world. In addition to identifying the active and developing legislation impacting connected services, it understands how legislation can vary from region to region. For developing legislation, it assesses how likely it is to be implemented and highlights its potential impacts. The guide is divided into three sections that each cover a different aspect of connected car legislation and is released quarterly to account for any new activity within the space. Flip through the sample provided below and be sure to contact us directly or leave a comment to learn more, or to speak with one of our legislation experts! #legislation #connectedcar #privacy

Can you guess which automaker has the most sophisticated over-the-air software update capability in the United States market as of 2024?   The answer is Ford Motor Company, whose #OTA capability as demonstrated on the Mustang Mach-E exceeds every other automaker selling vehicles with the capability in the United States today.   While #Tesla and #Rivian update their vehicles more frequently and with more content overall, Ford’s ability to update the car while the vehicle is in use represents a novel capability that we’ve seen no other automaker employ on the road in the United States – and they’re quickly catching up in cadence, too, thanks to broad availability of their capability across all brands and powertrains.   Ford made an active design choice to equip vehicle electronics with “A/B” partitioning, allowing software updates to be installed silently, then “switched over” to the newly updated partition without an interruption to the vehicle’s functionality.   Laying the technology foundation that Ford has is a crucial step in enabling the long-term vision of the software-defined vehicle, and we’re now seeing the fruits of sizeable investments in development tools, organizational changes, and architecture overhauls give the company the opportunity to meet or even leapfrog the agility of their #EV competition.   For more information on this ranking and methodology, refer to our quarterly OTA and Software-Delivered Features Guide, which also tracks every known software update pushed by every automaker in the United States, Europe, and China: https://lnkd.in/gq5ce2TK
