What's In It For The Automotive Industry In 2021?

​The automotive industry is undergoing a transformation that will change how we buy, sell, and drive cars. What are the implications of these changes? Do you want to get rid of having to deal with slow and outdated technology? Find out here what’s next for the automotive industry.

1. Revolving Electrics
   Surprisingly, vehicle sales are exploding, with global EV sales projected to reach 2 million units by 2025. These cars are a critical step in that change. OEMs will see a shift in gear towards EVs, with many scaling and redesigning their models to sell.
   
   
2. Digital Experience
   Online sales tools are increasingly becoming embedded in the process of selling. The models surrounding them may not change, but they will start identifying gaps in the customer experience. Daimler is an online sales leader that offers single sign-on so that you can shop with ease!
   
   
3. Smart Cars
   Smart vehicles (self-driving and autonomous) will be a test-and-learn endeavor but will not likely be the priority for anyone’s budget this year. The need in the economy post-pandemic for jobs and cash is so immense that OEMs need to focus on what they can do at scale in the next 18 months.
   
   Now we can see autonomous cars hitting the road. However, lots of things still need to be considered before seeing these cars driving on the streets.
   
   
4. Connectivity
   The next vehicle you buy will be like nothing you've seen before. It will look and feel like an extension of your digital life. Automakers are also investing in new technology to make it easier to stay connected while we drive.
   
   
5.  Streamlining
   Automakers will have a tough year in 2021. The company's focus will be on building the auto industry's future, including more EVs and connectivity. They'll also target operating approaches and costs while putting a focus on streamlining.
