Connected Car Trends to Watch for 2015

Business World -- The Internet of Things will continue to make inroads into the automotive industry in 2015 with the connected car technology. The year 2015 will witness more mainstream auto companies adopting connected car and advanced technologies.
 
Here are five auto technology trends to watch for in the coming year:
 
The number of vehicles that include a telematics option will increase: There are 14 automakers that control 80 per cent of the car market globally and each one of them has a connected-car strategy. In 2015, we’ll start to see these strategies apply to more car models as connected features, such as high-end navigation, telematics and infotainment, are included as standard options.
 
Advanced technologies will become a precursor for autonomous vehicles: Future-forward car manufacturers will start to push the envelope on enhancing advanced technologies such as adaptivecruise control and lane departure warning– further setting the stage for autonomous vehicles.
 
Competition for off-the-shelf aftermarket solutions will intensify: Overall, adoption for connected cars remains relatively low. For example, 200 million cars in the U.S. are not connected. The coming year will usher in more competition for solutions to benefit the aftermarket.
