For a while, the mainstream automotive industry seemed to be losing to the tech giants in the race for the connected car. The OEMs fought back, and 2016 became the year of the connected services sub-brand. But while the global OEMs talked about their future mobility brands, China’s Geely went ahead and launched one. In a Megatrends exclusive, we talk to An Conghui, Chief Executive of Geely Auto about Lynk & Co.
This issue also features exclusives with Nikola Motors’ Chief Executive, Trevor Milton on revolutionary truck electrification technology; LeMond Composites on a revolution in carbon fibre manufacturing; Stratasys on its new 3D printing technology; and Nvidia on AI, deep learning and autonomous driving.
