With the increasing usage of terms like Advanced Driver Assist System (ADAS), Artificial Intelligence (AI) Machine Learnings (ML), Shared Mobility, Big Data & Analytics, Internet of Things (IoT) and Blockchain, the technology has taken a centre stage of all developments happening in the automotive industry.

“The technology landscape is changing rapidly in the automotive industry. We see evolution and adoption of information and communication related technologies at an unprecedented scale,” says Vineet Sahni, Group Chief Executive Officer, Lumax DK Jain Group & Senior Executive Director - Lumax Industries Limited.

Owing to the change in environment and consumer preferences, Sahni says innovation driven industry such as automotive is seeing Connected, Autonomous, Shared and Electric Mobility taking centre stage. “Technologies that enhance comfort and safety are most sought after. Safety is driving technological innovations such as electronic sensors, telematics, lighting technologies etc.”

While the movement towards smart vehicles is in nascent stages, Sahni feels it is bound to gain trajectory in future.

The industry is witnessing a shift towards electric mobility, energy efficiency, light-weighting of vehicles and alternate fuel usage.
