Connected Cars: Customer convenience or commercial reality? [Repeat]

Three auto industry titans discuss connected cars

Ian Plummer, Commercial Director, Auto Trader joins Zero Dollar Car man, John Ellis, Founder & Managing Director, JTE Consulting and David Betteley head of auto content at Asset Finance Connect to consider recent developments in auto subscription services as OEMs start to get serious about monetising connectivity.

This is the third in a series of connected car presentations which have examined the car as a payment device, usage of connectivity to better manage renewals and residuals; and the opportunities for in-life services.

• Understand why Ford and VW’s have decided to close down on ARGO AI and focus instead on simple driver-assist technologies they believe are easier to develop and bring to the market
• Hear the panels assessment of recently launched subscription services, developed by the world’s leading OEMs – which services are good, and which are bad or downright ugly!
• Consider the participants’ views as they discuss the best way forward for connectivity – what are the best use cases that deliver value to customers, or is the financial benefit of connected being overestimated?
