The automotive industry is transforming fast. As per market analysts, conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles are expected to peak in the next few years and begin to gradually decline, giving way to electric vehicles (EVs). Many countries have already set up dedicated national automotive industry transformation funds to support the electrification of vehicles and their supply chains in an effort to align with the global green agenda. Despite the current variables in resource pricing and supply chain bottlenecks, subsequently, the new breed of software-rich EVs will lead to an autonomous driving ecosystem.
