🚗 The #automotive sector is only beginning to explore AI’s vast potential, but the revolution has already begun. For OEMs, suppliers, and aftermarket players, AI is set to drive efficiency, cut costs, and improve customer experiences. The big question remains: who will take the lead, and who risks falling behind? Access to data and successful #AI adoption will be the critical factors. Early adopters will gain a competitive edge, while others may struggle to keep up. 📉 Unlocking AI’s full value, however, requires more than isolated efforts. Businesses must adopt a unified strategy, integrating AI with advancements like SDV development and electrification. Breaking down silos across the value chain is key to connecting on- and offline operations and achieving true transformation. Curious how to unlock AI’s potential?

For the automotive sector, AI and GenAI are increasingly becoming a requisite. Companies need to leverage #AI to save costs, improve competitiveness, and develop better products. These capabilities are very much table stakes. However, at this early stage, auto companies should start small with a project in isolation, learn from it, understand how it works, and then line up the next pilots and develop a roadmap to integrate across the value chain.   Additionally, #GenAI use cases exist across the automotive sector value chain with the potential to both drastically (and quickly) increase the efficiency of existing core workflows and support new creative processes. Boston Consulting Group (BCG) has catalogued more than 70 such use cases of AI. It was great to discuss this and how AI can be leveraged by the #automotive and mobility sectors, its uses in car design, to better manage stock and general pricing strategy, and in marketing and sales with Automotive World’s Megan Lampinen.   Read more here (albeit behind a paywall): https://lnkd.in/eQ6z7d2x   #bcginuk #bcg #bcgautomotive

Here’s an interesting piece on how collaboration between vehicle OEMs and insurance companies can enhance customer experience.     As Robert Spencer, President and COO at Toyota Insurance explains: “If OEMs and insurers come together and find the best way to interact with that customer—potentially harnessing the customer’s data to do so—we can give them a better experience for both.”    The benefits could include better-tailored insurance products, safer drivers, and greater customer retention. Follow the link for the detail.     #CustomerExperience #Insurance #Automotive #Growth
