Electronified Cars: This Isn't Your Parent's Prius

The electronification of cars means much more than replacing combustion engines with electric power. This technological revolution is changing the way we experience driving, and based on what we hear from the experts, we’ve hardly scratched the surface. When we talk about cars of the future, batteries are merely the beginning. Software, networks, and the resulting data will change the face of the auto industry forever. The companies developing and manufacturing the components in these vehicles will provide strategic opportunities for investors.
