Ten tech trends that could steer mobility
Mobility | Automotive | Technology
March 22, 2024 – Ten technology trends, from cloud and edge computing to immersive reality, could transform the mobility sector, according to partner Timo Möller and coauthors. In our analysis of 3,500 industrial companies that primarily specialize in autonomous driving, connectivity, electrification, and shared mobility, 20 percent of the businesses are already working on products or services related to these ten trends. Within our sample of companies, 64 percent are working on applied AI, making it the leading tech trend by far.

Visual form
Combined donut chart and ranked horizontal bar chart.
Layout / body structure
The chart is split into two coordinated parts, with a large donut-style share graphic on the left and a descending horizontal ranking of ten technology trends on the right, so the reader moves left to right from overall participation to the trend-level breakdown.
What is being compared
It compares the share of companies in the sample that work on at least one of ten top technology trends and then compares how often each specific trend appears within that set.
Measurement system
The reader tracks percentages throughout, with the donut emphasizing the 20 percent overall share and the bar chart showing trend-level percentages for each technology area.
Visible structure inside the graphic
The left side uses a large circular ring with a centered percentage callout, while the right side uses horizontal bars ranked from longest to shortest, with each bar labeled directly by its technology trend.
Main takeaway from the visual
The chart shows that only a minority of the sampled companies are active in these top mobility-relevant technology areas, and among those trends applied AI is far more prevalent than the rest.
Key standout values or extremes
The donut shows 20 percent of companies working in one or more of the ten trends, and the ranking shows applied AI at 64 percent, well ahead of advanced connectivity at 18 percent and cloud and edge computing at 15 percent, while several trends sit at 1 percent or below.
