Specialists consulting company
McKinsey believe that in five years, smart technology in cars will be able to make a significant competition to mobile devices. The smart car market is now actively developing, which is an excellent opportunity for car manufacturers and for companies that are engaged in high-tech developments, Kommersant
reports . According to McKinsey, the smart technology market in cars, plus the market for Internet connections and related devices, could reach $ 200 billion by 2020.
In the near future, smart technologies and devices installed by automakers will make it possible to use the functions that smartphones and tablets are currently performing. For example, it may be a reservation in a restaurant, payment for services, etc. Currently, large auto companies spend about 4 million euros per year on research and development of their own smart technologies for cars. Many companies also enter into contracts with players in the high-tech world, including Apple and Google.
An even greater impetus to the development of the market of Internet connections and smart devices for cars will be given by the development of smart cars with an automatic control system. Such robotic cars use wireless communication and connection to the Network. The driver of the car, who is not busy driving his vehicle, can work on the web via a tablet or phone, this creates additional traffic. Specialists from Hitachi Ltd believe that by 2020, 90% of all new vehicles in Western Europe will use Internet connections.
“Many consumers will no longer be interested only in the actual automotive technology. They will be more interested in how they can spend their time while in the car, ”Bloomberg quotes EY’s partner Peter Fuss.

The McKinsey
study shows that currently the market for unmanned vehicles is actively developing. By 2030, this area will affect almost the entire logistics chain of the car market, plus the principle of work of insurance companies will be changed, which will insure not the car owner, but specific problems in the work of smart cars. By 2050, the company is already waiting for the widespread introduction of unmanned vehicles.
