CONNECTED CAR reduce inconveniences like maintenance and allow cars to run on the most efficient software via cloud-based upgrades .
The potential is greater than many consumers realise . Cars are already receiving upgrades through the cloud — also known as ‘ over-theair ( OTA )’ updates or ‘ cloud-to-car ’. This type of functionality brings the industry one step closer to autonomy , alleviating the need for drivers to physically take their car to be repaired in many scenarios .
