The role of the Volkswagen Group as a frontrunner in the “Networked vehicle” category was also verified in the study:
“Volkswagen has introduced a very large number of innovations with 62 innovations this year, which is twice as many as in the prior year. An example is that electric cars can now be monitored and programmed remotely. Live traffic services also continue to make their way into the various vehicle classes.”
