Seeing the future by looking at the past: What’s Next for the Auto Industry’s Digital Transformation

In my article, “From Closed Car Pods to Open Mobility Experiences,” I explored the potential of open platforms in redefining mobility.

The perspective offered in “Remember the Smartphone Wars?” by the Dimo Network on HackerNoon provides a compelling narrative that both challenges and enriches my understanding of the industry’s trajectory.
