Cars now connect with multiple active devices and networks in and around them. Alongside IoT and 5G this is allowing manufacturers to gather enormous amounts of valuable information on their product’s effectiveness and customer use, far beyond creation. Yet this also has its challenges. As more and more connected vehicles hit the road, manufacturers must be willing to invest in this new side of the automotive business to ensure they have the digital capabilities to successfully store, manage and interpret the large volumes of data produced.

From tracking areas with congestion, to available EV charging points, to monitoring car efficiency and maintenance needs, vehicles are now producing more valuable insights than ever. It is a crucial moment for manufacturers to seize the opportunities created by connected vehicle data and change their role within the industry to help create a smarter, safer and more sustainable road experience for all. They must be willing to work with wider infrastructures, local and central governments, as well as transport departments to fully realise the possibilities presented by mobility data. By offering new services and real-time solutions, OEMs can play a revolutionary part in the future of mobility. 

The Financial Times, in partnership with Wejo, is pleased to present this digital panel discussion for connected vehicles leaders from the automotive sector. Drawing on speakers’ expertise around mobility, connected and autonomous vehicles, we will explore how manufacturers can access the most meaningful insights from mobility data for real-time solutions.
