opportunities for new entrants, Mobility providers, tech
giants and specialty OEMs and increasing the complexity of
the competitive landscape. New disruption will inevitably
force traditional car manufacturers to compete on multiple
fronts.

challenging.

Engineering Service providers like Satven to lead the
disruption rather than fearing of the same.
