| | March 20214EditorialOverarching trends of digitalization and electrification continued to drive innovation in the auto industry last few years. Digital disruption in the mobility industry has become a cliché ­ yet the number one factor defining automotive product development is still the adoption of digital technologies, and that's not likely to change any time soon. Therefore, long-standing technology trends continue to unfold gradually, while new technologies suggest further directions in the mobility industry. Unless you have been living under a rock, you'd know, the later 2020 was all about electrification in the automotive industry. Due to a global push to reduce carbon emissions and take further action to tackle climate change, the market share of electric vehicles on the mobility market continues to increase. Thanks to growing variety (with more models being introduced in 2021), government incentives, a competitive edge in comfort, and other factors, EVs are already getting hugely popular with consumers. In parallel, IoT has taken centre stage when it came to more digital mobility. With 5G capabilities slowly being built out and research on 6G already underway, vehicle connectivity has been touted as a defining automotive trend for years. Naturally, vehicle connectivity (including V2G and V2V communication) is vital to autonomous driving. Besides that, the main reason connectivity is set to be revolutionary is that it enables OTA (Over-the-Air Updates), a hugely important feature in tomorrow's world of digital mobility.While we're at it, lets not leave behind autonomous driving. Self-driving cars have been on the agenda for quite some years now, but the timeline to reach full vehicle autonomy keeps getting pushed back. While the development of autonomous driving technology is progressing fast, testing and improving algorithms is still a tricky issue. Another challenge is that of safety standardization: regulators are lagging behind tech innovation, possibly delaying the launch of self-driving cars.Such advancements in the automotive tech have truly revolutionized the mobile world. This edition is dedicated to those players who have envisioned the future to be about flying cars.Do let us know what you think. Emmanuel Christi DasEditoremmanuel@cioreviewindia.comFlying Cars?
