4. Security
Connected cars — many of which have features controlling steering, gas, brakes, and more — will soon become a common occurrence. They will need to be secured, and they will need to be secured soon. Some connected vehicles on the roads today can be remotely hijacked, putting the driver — and others on the road — at serious risk. But the future of CVs and AVs needn’t be so grim. They can be secured.
Automakers and tech companies will need to work together to secure these vehicle up and down the supply chain. Security, in effect, will need to be part of every vehicle’s design process. Cars in development will need to have their software routinely tested through known cybersecurity techniques and practices like pen-testing and bug bounty …show more content…

This is a logical first-step, but these savvy consumers will increasingly value apps that are truly useful and relative to the driving experience. An example is an app that proactively and dynamically recommends modifications to a driver’s high frequency routes to help them optimize fuel consumption, lower CO2 emissions, minimize engine wear, and avoid road hazards.
