Telefónica published a report in July 2014 titled "Connected Car Report 2014" which provided insights into the connected car market, challenges, and consumer awareness and demand for connected car products and services based on a survey of over 5,000 drivers in 5 countries. The report found that 71% of drivers were interested in or already using connected car services, with safety, diagnostics, and navigation features being the most important. It also found that 35% of consumers expected to use car sharing services rather than own a car by 2034. Telefónica is involved in connected car initiatives through its global M2M alliance, fleet management partnerships, providing connectivity for Tesla, and a telematics-based motor insurance policy

For the Connected Car Report 2014, Telefónica commissioned
globally recognised research firm, YouGov to survey 5,012
adults, aged 18 or over, and that held a valid driver’s licence. It
spoke to respondents in Spain, Brazil, USA, UK and Germany in
January 2014.
The respondents were asked what they think about - and what
they want from - connected cars. The research has revealed
some fascinating insights on levels of demand for connected
cars, and what connected services drivers value the most.
Industry experts from Kia, GM, Renault, Fiat, Volkswagen,
Nissan, Ford and Telefonica were also interviewed, offering
feedback on the industry and the research results.

The user experience
80% of interviewees expect the connected
car of the future to provide the same
connected experience they are used
to at home, at work and on the move
via their mobile phone.
Consumers today expect connectivity as a
given wherever they are, and the car is no
exception. However, the automotive
environment is unique and provides
new challenges for connected services.

The survey suggests that OEMs still
have some way to go before they
break out of their traditional role as
a manufacturer and become a full,
connected service provider. It also
highlights the varying preferred
payment methods for connected
services.
The most popular payment method was
for basic connectivity with the option to
choose additional services as needed.
PAYG and one-off payments were also
popular which suggests manufacturers
will need to give customers several
payment options.

“Consumers are aware of connected cars and it is now becoming a key
communication point for Nissan to reinforce the ‘Innovation that excites’
branding.” Ian Digman, Nissan
“We’re beginning to see our customers prepared to pay for some connected
services via a yearly subscription, such as navigation in particular. However,
there is also a growing demand for pay-as-you-go services…” Nicolas Nollet,
Renault
“I believe that car sharing is an opportunity, especially within the growing trend
for mega cities. In these enormous urban centres one will always need a car
and will always need services.” Massimo Cavazzini, Fiat

“When customers are connected and cars are connected you have a much
greater ability to create services because you'll be able to interact with the car
remotely to locate it, unlock it, or arrange to share it with somebody else.” Greg
Ross, GM
“The big use case right now that we’re exploring is the value proposition
around remote control. Remote start, door lock/unlock, windows
down…anything that controls the car in some fashion from a remote device.”
John Ellis, Ford
“the fact is that connectivity is no longer optional, it is part of every OEM’s DNA
from now on.” Henry Bzeih, Kia Motors

“I think if we knew the answer to what to do with the data generated by
connected services, it would be the million-dollar question. The first thing that
needs to happen is for auto makers to start realising what they can do with that
data, what the value is, what they can do legally, and what the consumer is
okay with too.” Ben Auslander, VW
“I am confident that, by 2020, we will have a high penetration of connected
cars (~90%). This will be a mixture of 2G, 3G, and in most instances 4G.”
