Web Magazine Development & Electronics reports on Connected Car Services Study

The increasing importance of connectivity services in vehicles was recently a topic in the web magazine E&E (Development and Electronics, issue of 14.09.2020). “Whether accident and breakdown management, traffic sign recognition or the health monitoring of the driver: Connected-Car-Services are supposed to further increase the comfort and safety in the vehicle.” The subject of the topic-specific report is the study “Connected Car Services in Germany” by Prof. Hans-Christian Riekhof, which he conducted with Marc Scholz in spring 2020 for the PFH Private University of Göttingen.

“For car manufacturers, it is of very high importance to find out about the willingness to pay for Connected-Car-Services,” explains Hans-Christian Riekhof. “After all, various manufacturers have stated that their business model will change significantly in the coming years and that they no longer want to sell motor vehicles alone, but increasingly see themselves as mobility service providers.”

The study “Connected-Car-Services in Germany” was conducted from March 2 to 31, 2020 and is based on a quantitative data collection in the form of a standardized questionnaire. A total of 543 people completed the online questionnaire.
