Volvo to Monetise Cars Before Data
"Volvo’s CEO Hakan Samuelsson is expecting Volvo to make more money by selling autonomous cars than by taking a cut from the higher margin data-driven services. The company has realised that its strength lies in building cars and not in data services. Volvo, along with Nissan has allowed Google's software to take control of the operating system including mapping, navigation and apps. This is in stark contrast to many automakers who are forging commercial partnerships to sell connected services rather than allowing tech companies like Google to be directly involved." - Aman Madhok
