About ourselves • Founded 2009 • Offices in NLD (Eindhoven/Best & Valkenburg) and USA, Ca (Santa Rosa) • Tarriffic’s core competence can be summarized into 3 steps: • To develop soft-, hardware, and data management solutions for • generic devices (smartphones, tablets) • to interact with a closed environment • in a controlled way • Real time controlling • Connected House, Connected Car, Connected anything….
To be successful tomorrowyou need to know the history of Connected Car / Telematics
Telematics: a troublesome history First wave 1995-2000 Initiated by OEM’s Technology driven No channel strategy Proprietary solutions High development and production costs High admin efforts at Point Of Sales No business case for user or OEM Low success rate Abandoned by most OEM’s
Telematics: a troublesome history Second wave 2003-2010 Initiated by ‘Integrators’ Combine existing resources into 1 proposition for OEM’s Proprietary solutions Substantial development and operational cost Users cannot choose content freely (package-deals) Limited success rate Rejuvenated via eCall initiative
Telematics: a troublesome history Third wave 2010-> Initiated by end-users Proliferation of mobile high-speed internet Everything has an IP address Introduction smartphones Low development cost Low operational cost Generic hardware Users have free choice
Hardware driven Software driven 2007: Revolution • iPhone introduction USA • Revolution: complete turn-around in telephony & computing 100+ Nokia’s and SE’s Focus on tech spec’s Functionality embedded Non-upgradeable Very short life cycles Lack of continuity for user OS determines user experience Focus on customization Functionality is upgradeable HW life cycle 2+ years Stability for user; migration within platform
smartphone tablet Consequence for mobile solutions Old situation New situation • Proprietary • Functionality from hardware Generic Hardware Functionality from software Upgradeable Open ecosystem Embedded Limited upgrades Closed/no ecosystem Software
It’s a crowded marketplace Telco Stake- holders Content HW-SW
Obstacles for success • Many stakeholders, esp. OEM’s, did not decide their role yet • Commoditization forces many companies to look ‘over the boundaries’ • A market standard is needed to attract appealing content • Automotive industry is not capable of achieving this: • -Too many stakeholders • -Too much invested money, often in obsolete technology • -Too many different agenda’s • “…we will co-operate as long as our technology will win…” • Standard will likely come from ‘the outside’
Who owns the data? • Essential element in current discussion • OEM’s think it belongs to them • Content providers think they at least should have access • EU thinks customers should be in control • Yet to be decided whether the customer can determine this freely
Connectivity types • Embedded • Tethered • Smartphone
No lessons learned What users want: Their own customized environment; everywhere Regardless of what car they drive Appealing content Free choice Flexibility Continuity along with platform evolution
The way forward • No mainstream standard = No Ecosystem = No Connected Car • Include safety standards for user interface and system security • Listen to what users want • Smartphones will be an essential part • eCall and smartphones are the ‘pace-makers’ • Successful solutions might be surprisingly uncomplicated
