Rental companies adopting the connected car platform to attract customers is an emerging trend in the connected car market. Retail customers and rental players are adopting connected car technologies. For instance, Ola (on-demand taxi service in India) has started offering Ola Play, a connected car platform, to Ola rental users. Through this platform, the users are allowed to control the car and driver consoles from their smartphones. They can also control these functions through a device mounted inside the car. Additionally, this platform also allows custom features like music and video streaming through online apps.
The primary objective of these rental companies is to engage customers in using their app for more time, which will benefit customer attraction and retention. This trend is expected to be a positive driver for the market as it opens a new revenue avenue for the market player. Therefore, these factors will fuel the market growth during the forecast period.
Cybersecurity breach issues negatively impact technology adoption, which acts as a major challenge to market growth. Wireless communication systems are used by automotive telematics applications in in-vehicle information systems. These systems are prone to hacking and theft of information. Nowadays, these modern systems offer internet connectivity combined with real-time updates and information. Hence, access to such information provides an opening for the breach of information and the threat of malicious software.
In addition, the major concern is the passage of malware through in-vehicle entertainment and information systems to other in-car networks such as CAN buses. This malware may link the in-vehicle entertainment and information systems to the automobile's critical functions. Therefore, hackers can get control of the vehicle's central functions, such as the engine and brakes, by connecting the laptop or mobile devices to the automobile's onboard port. Furthermore, several other security vulnerabilities arise from the insertion of multiple web applications and Bluetooth in automobiles. These applications provide access to social media applications as well as personal contacts. Therefore, these factors will hinder the market growth during the forecast period.
