Best of LinkedIn: Next-Gen Vehicles & Mobility

We curate most relevant posts about Next-Gen Vehicle Intelligence on LinkedIn and regularly share key takeaways.

This edition provides a comprehensive outlook on the automotive industry's rapid transition toward Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs), outlining both the architectural shift and the ensuing operational challenges. This fundamental transformation is characterized by the evolution towards centralized and zonal E/E architectures, which necessitates that legacy manufacturers adopt a software-first mindset and overcome organizational resistance built around traditional hardware-centric processes. Paramount importance is placed on vehicle validation, driven by the need for scenario-based testing, continuous compliance, and the expansive use of virtual engineering environments and digital...

We curate most relevant posts about Future Mobility & Market Evolution on LinkedIn and regularly share key takeaways.

This edition collectively map the complex and rapidly evolving landscape of future mobility, spotlighting concurrent revolutions in automation and urban sustainability. The autonomous vehicle market is accelerating into a global race, marked by Waymo's US expansion and the aggressive entry of Chinese competitors like WeRide and Baidu’s Apollo Go into European and Middle Eastern markets, though this progress is tempered by critical warnings about the dangers of insufficient AI oversight. Simultaneously, shared micromobility services, including e-scooters and e-bikes, are proving their resilience...

We curate most relevant posts about Electrification & Battery Technology on LinkedIn and regularly share key takeaways.

A major theme across this edition is the regulatory progress in Europe, particularly in Germany, which has removed double taxation and grid fees for bidirectional charging (V2G), shifting this technology from pilot projects to viable commercial models capable of providing grid flexibility. Alongside this legislative support, infrastructure development is accelerating, marked by the rapid rollout of the Megawatt Charging System (MCS) network for heavy-duty vehicles, although problems such as charging fraud via QR codes and the practice of 'ICEing' (blocking charging bays) still...

We curate most relevant posts about Commercial Fleets on LinkedIn and regularly share key takeaways.

This edition provides a comprehensive outlook on the rapid, yet complicated, transformation of the logistics and fleet industries, primarily driven by electrification and the pervasive implementation of artificial intelligence. Financial data confirms that the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for electric vehicles delivers staggering long-term savings, accelerating fleet transitions across the globe despite significant regulatory challenges and infrastructure scarcity. A major focus is on mitigating these infrastructure bottlenecks through innovative solutions like Infrastructure-as-a-Service and integrated platforms that leverage smart energy management and electric-aware routing to...
