An automotive trend report by Roland Berger Strategy Consultant looking at the megatrends until 2025 as well as creating scenarios and draw a number of conclusions. A couple of insights that I thought was interesting to share are
turbulent electricity market will open up for new entrants and new business models when it comes to provide energy - a switch to electricity as fuel will open up for new business models for how to pay for mobility
the automotive industry will see an increasing number of new OEMs breaking into the market with new business models, new low cost offers and new technology solutions 
car ownership will decline in West due to young people interest in cars and the increase of other models for transportation while the car ownership will increase in BRICs
the car as an IT platform will be open and standardized as well as a part of the always-on cloud
