What this episode covers

Harald Fuchs, CEO of Freeeway, and Mark van den Berg from KPN IoT discuss how rising data consumption in connected cars is reshaping the automotive industry, turning connectivity from a cost center into a monetized service. They explain that while Chinese OEMs lead in high-data entertainment features, European OEMs are struggling with the costs, prompting Freeeway's Monetization Hub to help manage global connectivity, compliance, and payments. The conversation covers the shift toward vehicles acting as digital service providers, integrating services like EV charging and road pricing, and the future business models involving autonomous driving and revenue sharing.
