The things we can do while on the go have started to change, and parallel to this, different vehicle alternatives are developing. In this direction, the agenda of the world automotive industry is now electric, interconnected, driverless and shared vehicles. The new system brings with it developments such as a decrease in accidents and traffic density, a decrease in energy demand and transportation costs, and the elimination of multi-modal transportation and parking areas. In the system, where big data has gained great importance, it is predicted that half of the costs will consist of software and electronics in 2030. As the Turkish automotive industry, we believe that we have to take a leading role in this system. We think that the Turkish automotive industry, which has been the export champion for the last 16 years in a row and the export average of 30 billion dollars for the last three years before the pandemic, should take its place at the top of the global arena."
