The impact of new technologies on the manufacturing industry is quite phenomenal, and this is especially the case in the automotive sector. Here, leading carmakers are ploughing their efforts into a new connected car vision – and for good reason: Gartner expects one in five vehicles to have some sort of wireless network connection by 2020. And Accenture’s 2016 Connected Vehicle Survey found that over 14,000 consumers across five continents are now looking for new models with connected technologies integrated as standard.

Find out more about Microsoft’s involvement in the connected car movement in the following pages. You’ll also find a wide variety of case studies, viewpoints, interviews and more tackling the biggest issues in manufacturing today.
