“Automobile reinvented” and what that means for our cause ... [via Automotive Ontology Community Group]

I’m in Detroit and just after the concluding events of 2015 TU-Automotive
conference. It was incredible experience for all who participated.

There is no doubt we are just at the threshold of the fundamental changes in the
automotive industry that is bringing new kind of cars (driverless and
autonomous), redefine the way we use existing vehicles (connected cars) and in
general make cars “digital”.

Gartner analyst, Thilo Koslowski, in his optimistic keynote "The Evolution of
the Automobile" called this whole trend “Automobile Reinvented” and
this sounds like a good slogan for the whole trend !

What that means for us ?

A lot – we will soon need to incorporate new concepts into GAO creation
process – concepts we did not even dream about in 2013 when we started it all
! These new concepts, that become important even in today’s customer decisions
(what kind of “infotainment” or “connectivity” my car will have? Will
it link to my iPhone or Android phone?). For more technically oriented clients
– what kind of “telematics” will I get?

We will have to think seriously about this new terminology building GAO and
evolving expected auto.schema.org extension…
