According to a report by Strategy&, over 85% of all new cars are considered connected, and it is estimated that by 2025 over 470 million connected vehicles will be on the road in Europe, the United States, and China.

Vehicle to Everything (V2X) technology will allow cars to talk to each other, to pedestrians, to the companies they work for, and to smart cities.
