Global Business Professor’s latest audio interview, “The Global Auto Industry’s Big Bet for 2018 and Beyond? … Big Data,” features Varun Chhabra, senior director, product marketing, Dell EMC and big data expert.
In the 19-minute audio interview, Chhabra discusses these questions:
- How do you see data evolving in the automotive industry, both from a manufacturer’s perspective as well as that of a consumer/driver?
- Does that data differ in different regions/countries at all?
- Is there a particular region or country that is leading the industry around automotive innovation? Germany, for example, has long been a leading automotive center – will they have a competitive advantage?
- The talk of driverless cars has been around for years, but what’s going to be realistic in the short- and long-term?
- Do you see a particular region/country being the first to deploy this – why or why not?
- What technologies are going to most influence the next year, or next five to 10 years, in the automotive sector?
- Can you talk a little bit about the role analytics is playing with regard to all of this data being generated and stored in intelligent cars and autonomous vehicles?
- Are there considerations we should look at internationally, with regard to local/state/federal laws and policies?
