CHANGES TO THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY<br />
Simon Hackett, Managing Director of Base64.<br />
HOW <strong>MTA</strong> MEMBERS CAN<br />
PROSPER FROM CHANGE<br />
Imagine the day when your children no longer need to learn<br />
to drive. Where most car servicing is completed remotely via<br />
software updates. Where more police are ‘on the beat’ as traffic<br />
duties become obsolete due to the safety of an autonomous<br />
vehicle network.<br />
This is the future envisaged by two leading Adelaide business<br />
identities, Simon Hackett and Anthony Kittel. Both have<br />
impressive track records in positioning their businesses to benefit<br />
from change and both not only agree on the changes coming –<br />
but also their enormity.<br />
“These are not incremental advances in motor vehicle<br />
technology – they are massive shifts in the entire nature of road<br />
transport,” says Simon, Managing Director of Base64. He forged<br />
his reputation of being able to ‘see’ the future when he established<br />
ISP Internode in 1991, building the business into Australia’s<br />
largest privately-owned broadband provider, before selling it to<br />
iiNet in 2012.<br />
