This will allow them to contribute significantly to environmental and economic progress.
Growth Restraints
Global Standardized GapsCountries adopt different approaches to connected car regulations, creating inconsistencies in standards for autonomous vehicles, cybersecurity, and data protection. This makes compliance challenging for automakers and suppliers operating in diverse regions.Infrastructure DevelopmentAdoption of connected vehicles depends on 5G, V2X communications, and smart city infrastructure, which many regions lack, creating a barrier to adoption and regulations. Without proper infrastructure, regulatory bodies face challenges defining and enforcing rules for vehicle communication, autonomous operations, and smart city integration.Cybersecurity and Data PrivacyRising cybersecurity threats and data privacy concerns are major challenges for connected cars, as vulnerabilities to vast amounts of user data generated raise risks to vehicle safety and privacy. Ensuring cybersecurity, addressing data privacy regulations around cross-border data sharing, and gaining consumer consent could slow adoption.External FactorsGeopolitical factors, including the ongoing tariff wars and rising fuel and energy prices, have detrimental impacts on sales and revenue growth for global OEMs, slowing innovation and the rollout of new technologies in line with regulatory developments. Additionally, the after-effects of the pandemic continue to impact market growth in regions such as China.Growth Drivers
Consumer Demand for Advanced FeaturesConsumer demand for personalized in-car experiences, seamless mobile integration, and real-time traffic updates will promote the integration of more connected car features inside vehicles. This growth will be accompanied by evolving regulations to ensure data security and transparency.Technological AdvancementsThe 5G rollout and the rise of autonomous vehicles, AI-driven systems, and EVs drive significant automotive advancements. This requires evolving regulations to address safety, liability, data privacy, and grid interoperability, ensuring secure and efficient connected car technologies.Harmonization of RegulationsAs connected car technologies expand globally, the need for regulatory alignment increases. For instance, standardizing cybersecurity, data privacy, and communication protocols across regions will ensure that connected vehicles can operate safely and seamlessly in different markets.Environmental and Sustainability GoalsThe push for green transportation and emission reductions is prompting regulatory changes to integrate connected cars into sustainable systems, with stricter emission standards, EV adoption incentives, and carbon reduction targets driving new regulations.

UK economic growth slows but beats forecasts
UK economic growth slowed between April and June, according to official figures, but was better than expected. The economy expanded by 0.3%, down from 0.7% in the first three months of the year, the Office for National Statistics said. The biggest contribution came from services while the construction industry also grew. The UK government has made boosting economic growth a key priority and the latest data beat forecasts of 0.1% expansion. Chancellor Rachel Reeves said the figures were "positive" for an economy that "has felt stuck for too long". But she added: "There is more to do to deliver an economy that works for working people." However, Conservative shadow chancellor Mel Stride accused her of "economic vandalism" while Liberal Democrat MP Daisy Cooper said: "Snails would scoff at the pace that our economy is growing. "The Conservative Party led us into this economic quagmire but this Labour government has failed to break from the years of mismanagement." The economy performed better than expected in June, according to ONS figures, while previous estimates for April were revised upwards. The ONS had initially said that gross domestic product (GDP) – a key measure of economic activity – had shrunk by 0.3% in April but now said it contracted by 0.1%. But Ruth Gregory, deputy chief UK economist at Capital Economics, said it was doubtful the country "will maintain this pace of growth" between July and September. "The weak global economy will remain a drag on UK GDP growth for a while yet," she said. "The full drag on business investment from April's tax rises has yet to be felt. And the ongoing speculation about further tax rises in the Autumn Budget will probably keep consumers in a cautious mood." James Smith, an economist at ING Bank, told the BBC's Today programme that the figure for the April-to-June period was "not bad". In the first three months of the year, economic growth was "boosted by firms trying to get ahead of Donald Trump's tariffs", he said, as well as homebuyers rushing to complete before a change in stamp duty thresholds in April. "Those factors were always going to be a drag, so the fact that we've ended up with 0.3% growth in an environment of global uncertainty isn't really a bad result," he said. Experts suggested that hot, dry weather helped boost the construction sector which expanded by 1.2% between April and June. 'Unexpected sunshine' Iain Hoskins, who owns several venues in Liverpool, said he was "very worried" after the last Budget, with increase National Insurance Contributions adding £100,000 to his costs. However, he said he was "feeling more positive than we have done for the last few years," thanks largely to better weather and consumer confidence. "The quarter that we are talking about, we had a very early summer and often that period can be a complete washout," he said. "Unexpected sunshine really did bring people out in force. "Interest rates going down has really helped: more money in peoples' pockets. That is fundamental." The Bank of England has cut interest rates five times over the past 12 months, taking borrowing to 4%.
