Automotive Outlook: Evolution or Revolution?
Casey Selecman
Associate Director, Advisory Services, IHS Markit
Disruptive forces are changing the automotive industry at a pace never seen before. Autonomous driving, electric vehicles, new mobility concepts, and vehicle connectivity are each challenging the traditional car and truck status quo. Casey Selecman will level set where the auto industry today is from a vehicle and powertrain perspective, and help frame out when these disruptors are likely to make a volume impact. A review of key technology adoption drivers such as legislation, consumer needs/wants, OEM capabilities, and infrastructure/energy will help ground the forecast analysis.
