Naturally, people will ask why technology companies are interested in the automotive industry, just as Apple is developing CarPlay, and Google is developing Android Auto, both of which are in-vehicle infotainment systems. The reason is that futurists believe that in the next few years, cars will not only be able to achieve efficient commuting, but also can order coffee, pay, and then take the driver to the delivery point and other purposes. This is just one example of the expected transformation of the future automotive industry. The car will become a full-service mobile device, recognizing that this is like discovering a new gold mine for the automotive industry. McKinsey & Company pointed out that revenue from data streams and connectivity components will reach 180 billion euros (about 1.23 trillion yuan) by 2020.

Tony Douglas, an executive at BMW's mobile services division, commented: "The transportation industry is welcoming change. Either we are following this trend of change, profiting from new business models, or others will get ahead of it."

For example, the three companies are bidding together for Nokia's map service project.
