Visual form
Multi-panel bar chart.
Layout / body structure
The chart is split into two side-by-side charts. The left chart ranks the top five tech trends by number of companies, and the right chart shows the same set as percentage shares, so the reading order is left panel first and right panel second.
What is being compared
It compares how companies in the mobility sample are investing across technology trends such as applied AI, advanced connectivity, cloud and edge, Web3 computing, immersive reality, digital, shared, electrified, connected, and autonomous themes.
Measurement system
The left panel is a count of companies and the right panel is percentage share. Stacked colors in both panels show how the technology trends break down across the mobility themes.
Visible structure inside the graphic
The left panel uses five vertical stacked bars, with the applied-AI column towering over the rest. The right panel uses another set of stacked bars where each total reaches 100 percent, allowing a mix comparison across the same trend categories.
Main takeaway from the visual
The graphic shows that applied AI attracts much broader company interest than the other leading-edge technology buckets, making it the most crowded and active trend in the mobility sample.
Key standout values or extremes
Applied AI reaches 472 companies, far above advanced connectivity at 134, cloud and edge at 108, Web3 computing at 63, and immersive reality at 42. In the percentage panel, applied AI also shows the broadest multi-color stack, indicating wide participation across the mobility themes.
