Automotive Connectivity – Approaching a Pivotal Moment There is a prevailing assumption that the only use case for 5G is autonomous vehicles (AV) and since this need is moving to 2030 and beyond there is no 5G urgency. This assumption is misplaced. The reality is that the digital transformation that is burning through the industry has made software-defined vehicles (SDV) the use case that desperately needs 4G now and will very quickly demand upgraded 5G capability. In this presentation, Steve Bell will explore current technology, market data and survey data, as well as with tech trends from Mobile World Congress 2023, and highlight the rapidly approaching pivot point for connectivity in automotive. |

| The Subscription Boom? Some automakers are hoping for a windfall from selling services and features on a recurring basis. Are they off-base or right on track? Christie Schweinsberg will answer this question and more as she discusses the move toward subscriptions in the auto industry and shares results from Wards Intelligence's Digital Economy Survey on what features and services may be the most popular, what ones are non-starters and how much they should cost. |

North America Barometer: Current Trends and the 5-Year Outlook In this special edition of the North America Barometer, Haig Stoddard will go beyond addressing the region’s short-term projections by also reviewing the 5-year forecasts past 2023 for the market and its top manufacturers. With the industry expected to enter 2024 still reeling from the chaos started in 2020 by the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic – and subsequent supply-chain disruptions – the presentation will showcase current major trends as factors to track coming out of 2023, which ultimately will influence sales, production and inventory levels through 2028. |
