From Vehicle to Connected Device: How Technology Is Changing Car Ownership

Cars used to be simple machines that ferried commuters from Point A to Point B. But with the advent of connected technology in vehicles, the automobile is rapidly evolving into a connected device that offers information, services and features to its owners.

What Is Changing?

Vehicles with connected technology can offer remote diagnostics, navigation, vehicle alerts, digital records and software updates that can inform and apprise owners of vehicle-related issues. Moreover, vehicle management is also becoming increasingly digitized and more paperless. With connected services, a vehicle owner can not only find information on his/her own vehicle (RC, insurance, PUC details) but also challan check status online (which would otherwise require him to go to an offline source for checking traffic fines). MyMotor is a part of an overarching movement towards a fully digitized vehicle management system that consolidates all vehicle management services and information in a single easily accessible interface.

What Does This Mean for Owners?

Connected vehicles are making vehicle ownership more information intensive. Instead of simply maintaining a car as one would a machine, the connected device requires more regular check ups and management of its digitized information and services. As such, as connected technology evolves, so will the nature of human interaction with cars evolve from maintaining a vehicle to managing its digitized information and services.
