just-auto editor Dave Leggett said:
"These are exciting times in the automotive business. Over the next ten years vehicle
manufacturers and suppliers alike will have to consider the changes that are coming and
adapt.
"Those companies who fail to adapt to the rapidly changing technological and business
landscapes will eventually disappear," Leggett added.
Professor Wells outlines three potential visions for the future of the car in the
report; cocoon car; commodity car; and eternal car, and he details the implications of
each vision for OEMs and automotive suppliers.
The report also covers the possible impact of urbanisation on autonomous vehicle
takeup, and examples of collaboration between automotive and technology companies.
The report will be available from just-auto in mid-October. However, people who take
out an annual subscription to just-auto before 30 September, at a 35% discount on standard
pricing, will receive a free copy of the full report well in advance of its publication.
