Changing Culture in The Auto Industry.....


It is not only emerging technologies that are transforming the auto industry. The industry has had its own scandals and controversies......

 

Bringing about changes in softer aspects will be as important as tangible changes such as new systems, products and technologies. Governance models and ethical behavior across the value chain and at all levels of the organization are important. This week's focus is on the softer aspects that are changing in the auto sector.

It is not only the car making original equipment manufacturers who need to change. It is also us end customers following rules and something as basic as not riding on the pavements!

Popularizing e-scooters on UK's roads

The cross-party Commons transport select committee said the scooters, which are only legal to use in limited regional trials, should be allowed on British roads. They also called for robust enforcement to stop people using them on pavements, which they said was dangerous and antisocial, and an impediment to pedestrians and people with disabilities.

Volkswagen and the dieselgate scandal

Volkswagen AG is betting that a reformed compliance culture and an expanded whistleblower program that helped the German car maker clear a critical U.S. regulatory milestone this month will also help prevent another scandal and go a long way in restoring its reputation.

Bias in choice of technology

In the same way that leaders may harbor an implicit bias about characteristics of groups of people, they may also harbor implicit biases about new technology — including new technology they might be considering investing in to improve productivity or competitiveness. - MIT Sloan Management Review


Tesla's focus on innovation

Tesla would go on to pioneer new approaches in manufacturing, designs in software and electronic architecture which enable it to introduce innovations faster than rivals, leaving analysts to draw comparisons with Apple. - Business Standard


India needs talent for intelligence design of products across AI, IoT and machine learning as the overall return on investment from digital is now being achieved much faster.


The WFH culture post COVID-19

Working from home and online shopping have become the new normal and that will reduce driving in the U.S. by up to 270 billion miles a year, according to new study. The decline in commuting will remove 14 million cars from U.S. roads, the KPMG study forecasts.
