The shift toward autonomous and connected vehicle systems is redefining how OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers innovate. As vehicles become software-driven, success now depends on mastering technologies like ADAS, V2X connectivity, AI integration, and digital platforms. Yet, rapid innovation has created uneven progress across regions and players. Many OEMs invest heavily in R&D but lack visibility into how their technological maturity compares globally.
Global Technology Benchmarking helps bridge this gap. It provides data-backed insights on where organizations stand in the race for autonomy and connectivity, guiding smarter R&D allocation and faster innovation cycles. Through its Automotive Competitive Intelligence practice, Nexdigm helps OEMs and Tier-1s benchmark global technology ecosystems, identify innovation gaps, and accelerate leadership in next-generation mobility.
