Course description
Recent years have seen significant innovations in engine control, comfort functions, driver assistance, infotainment, and networking and communication, all driven by advancements in electrics and electronics.

Several trends indicate the direction of future changes, impacting traditional OEMs, suppliers, new players, regulators, consumers, national car markets, and the automotive value chain. Electrified vehicles are becoming more viable and competitive. As technological and regulatory hurdles are overcome, the number of new cars that are partly or fully autonomous will rise.
