Smart Home & Car Integration Brings Opportunity but Complexity for Car Manufacturers

Starting with smart home voice control, vehicle integration with smart home management will increasingly draw other functions into the connected vehicle. Navigation, insurance, health, energy management, AI, media management, and other applications and supporting industries will integrate with connected vehicles and often directly through smart home interaction.

Starting with smart home voice control, vehicle integration with smart home management will increasingly draw other functions into the connected vehicle. Navigation, insurance, health, energy management, AI, media management, and other applications and supporting industries will integrate with connected vehicles and often directly through smart home interaction.

However, the smart home market remains a wild-west style market with a variety of vendors, including Amazon, Apple, Google, and others building fiefdoms with industry-wide standards remaining minimal. This leaves vehicle OEM manufacturers faced with conflicting options for technologies and smart home partnerships to maximize the appeal of their connected car strategies. "With the looming potential of autonomous vehicles, OEMs are faced with an array of potential partners to help support that generation of vehicles that increasingly threaten the OEMs sole role in controlling the functionality and appeal of their vehicles," says Collins.

These findings are from ABI Research's Integrating the Smart Home and the Connected Car report. This report is part of the company's Smart Home research service, which includes research, data, and analyst insights.
