HOE VAAK MOET HET ER NOG STAAN DAN?

TomTom levert kaarten aan Volkswagen (x6)

Nog een keertje dan, speciaal voor jou. Wat je ook uit dit artikel kunt opmaken is dat investeerders hun kansen spreiden en in diverse bedrijven investeren. Ze weten niet precies wie de winnaars en verliezers worden in de connected car wereld, maar wel dat er grote bedragen te winnen zijn en reputaties op het spel staan.

Race to define car of the future shifts into high gear

#connected cars

Automakers and Silicon Valley upstarts are kicking their efforts to define the car of the future into a higher gear, even though many of the players disagree about what that car should be. The emerging autonomous vehicle technology sector is still in a turbulent stage akin to the old debate over “Betamax versus VHS” format. Standards are not yet defined, winners and losers are not sorted out and major players disagree sharply about the best way to bring the promise of safer, smarter cars to market.

Consider the contrasting visions of the automotive future put forward at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week by Mark Fields and Dieter Zetsche, the chief executives of Ford Motor Co (F.N) and Daimler AG (DAIGn.DE), respectively.

Ford’s approach, Fields says, is to focus initially on connecting cars and their drivers to the mobile Web, with apps as the building blocks, and work on sensors and software that eventually will enable the development of fully autonomous vehicles in the next decade. Ford wants to develop affordable technology for a broad swath of consumers — the philosophy behind founder Henry Ford’s Model T.

Daimler’s Mercedes-Benz has a different idea from Ford – and worlds apart from Internet company Google Inc (GOOGL.O), which has jolted the automotive establishment with its high-profile effort to develop a fully self-driving city car.

Zetsche presented a futuristic Mercedes prototype at CES that could drive itself down city boulevards while passengers used hand gestures to call up information about restaurants along the route or receive invitations to party from friends nearby.

Where Ford wants to make autonomous cars for “Everyman,” and Google envisions cars as pod-like appliances, Daimler presented robotic driving as part of a technology package that sets its premium cars apart from plebian rides. At the same time, Zetsche said Daimler could extend the self-driving concept to tiny “green” cars such as its Smart EV or into car-sharing programs such as its Car2Go enterprise – potentially challenging Google in that sphere.

“I hope you will still recognize us as being the inventor of the car,” Zetsche told Reuters. “But we should be defined by our future, not by our past.”

SENSE OF URGENCY

The urgency among the companies looking to profit from connected vehicle technology, including the hardware and software required for automated driving, is increasing. Several automakers, including Mercedes, General Motors Co (GM.N) and Volkswagen AG’s (VOWG_p.DE) Audi, have said they want to have vehicles capable of significant levels of hands-free driving on the road between 2016 and 2020. That means contracts to supply hardware and software need to be signed now.

The head of Google’s autonomous vehicle project, Chris Urmson, is scheduled to speak next week at an industry conference in Detroit to send the message that Google wants to forge partnerships with traditional automakers and suppliers to get its technology on the road.

Research firm IHS Automotive has estimated that self-driving car technology will add more than $31 billion in revenue for Google by 2040.

It is not clear, however, how automakers and such traditional technology suppliers as Continental AG (CONG.DE), Delphi Automotive PLC (DLPH.N), Robert Bosch GmbH [ROBG.UL] or Visteon Corp (VC.N), will welcome Google and other Silicon Valley companies looking to muscle their way between automotive brands and their customers.

Volkswagen, for example, announced at CES this week that it has partnered with Google rival TomTom to provide mapping data for its vehicles. Accurate maps are critical for autonomous driving, and they also provide richer information to drivers based on their location.

SHAKING UP STATUS QUO

Investors are betting that whatever happens, the status quo will be upended. Enthusiasm is high for companies positioned to benefit from increased automation and digital connectivity – including ride-sharing companies such as Uber, which aim to blow up traditional car ownership.

Valuations for some technology upstarts in the auto sector have soared above many of the industry’s stalwarts.

“You will see the Old Guard lose its (share price) multiples and the New Guard valued at crazy levels,” said Cathie Wood, chief executive of Ark Investment Management LLC, which invests in shares of companies it believes will benefit from the growth in connected and autonomous vehicle technology.

The traditional auto sector is also investing heavily to avoid being eclipsed.

“It’s protecting our future,” said Tim Yerdon, vice president of Visteon’s connected services. “We have to play in it one way or the other.”

En die uitdaging neem jij dan aan! Complimenten. Was inderdaad al eerder langsgekomen, maar ik had die link met ARK investments ook niet onthouden.

Dit is inderdaad zo'n partij die wel de potentie van TT zou moeten zien en toch kennelijk nog geen enkele urgentie voelt om groot in te stappen op het huidige zeer lage koersniveau.

Of zouden ze VW & TT toch "Old Guard" vinden? Een van de dingen die mij zijn opgevallen aan VW over de afgelopen 10 jaar is dat zij lang "low profile" zijn gebleven in elektrisch rijden. Gebaseerd op het idee dat er vooralsnog veel betere verbruikscijfers te behalen zijn met downsizen van motoren, cruise control en stop&go systemen. En inderdaad zijn die verbruikcijfers van hun wagens in de praktijk vaak beter dan van de hybriden van deze wereld. Mijn Octavia verbruikt dankzij "het nieuwe rijden" in de dagelijkse praktijk minder dan 1:22 (alle gemeten km's gedeeld door alle getankte liters aan de pomp).

Die aanpak heeft ze wel naar de positie gebracht dat ze nu voor het eerst Toyota voorbij zijn. En langzaam aan beginnen ze zich nu voor te bereiden op een "electrificerend" wagenpark. Net als hun Duitse conculega's. Evolutie i.p.v. revolutie.

Ook hun aanpak voor de introductie van HAD is gebaseerd op (snelle) evolutie i.p.v. revolutie. Ze denken daar goed na in Wolfsburg. Steeds meer/betere/betaalbaardere sensoren en steeds meer/betere/betaalbaardere kaarten en gekoppelde gegevensuitwisseling. Het klinkt misschien minder sexy dan een revolutie, maar uiteindelijk zouden ze zich daarmee toch wel kunnen ontpoppen als de echte "New Guard". Omdat het een haalbare, gefaseerde strategie is.

Waar TomTom een onlosmakelijk onderdeel van gaat worden de komende jaren. Ik zeg "New Guard".

It offers customers accurate and up-to-date maps that can be quickly integrated into their products, enabling them to deliver maps to the market faster and easier. The new format leverages the strength of the company’s new transactional mapmaking platform to bring customers real-time maps, according to Charles Cautley, managing director of TomTom Maps. The combination of speed and quality also ensures the best end user experience. MultiNet-R delivers rich content and coverage in a database model that features stable IDs and seamed content layers for easy compilation. Additionally, it can power incremental map updates, enabling maps to be kept up-to-date without the need to install a full map update. MultiNet-R takes a hybrid approach to mapmaking, optimising professional methods with community input from millions of users who actively share map changes, resulting in a map that is accurate and up-to-date. The global, full-feature format will be released monthly in 2015 and weekly in 2016.

Volkswagen selects TomTom maps (via TomTom Africa)
On 6 January, TomTom Global announced an agreement to deliver maps to Volkswagen, one of the world's leading car makers.

Volkswagen will launch in-dash navigation systems with TomTom maps, starting with the new VW multimedia system in North America in Q2 2015. The system will be introduced across multiple car lines, including the Jetta, Passat and Beetle.

Etienne Louw, GM of TomTom Africa, said this is a very important win for the entire group, and will have an impact in Africa as well. Although the rollout is initially only in North America, the ripple effect of another large brand association with TomTom will add to the already existing positive market sentiments in Africa when viewing TomTom as a serious supplier of quality digital mapping solutions."

TomTom is a global leader in smart mapmaking, and one of the first to leverage crowd-sourcing to detect changes. By combining professional mapmaking methods with a community of hundreds of millions of users, who provide GPS traces and actively share real-world road network changes, TomTom ensures the maps it delivers to customers are accurate and up-to-date.

"We are delighted to announce this agreement with Volkswagen, strengthening our relationship with one of the world's premier car manufacturers, and reinforcing our global position as a trusted provider of automotive grade maps," said Harold Goddijn, CEO of TomTom. "TomTom's real-time map-making technology ensures our customers will have the most up-to-date maps on the market."
