Don’t worry, this won’t be a typical “the real Christmas” article. Not a call for more modesty or more inner peace. Nor a call for more charity. No. Even though I’m not a fan of Christmas, I advise everyone to celebrate as much as they can. And for heaven’s sake: Store properly.

People often refer to the “innovators dilemma”. In my opinion, however, this falls short in today’s world.
I have to admit that when I first started looking into the transformation of the automotive industry, I thought that everything would take much longer. In fact, many things are happening faster and are accelerating. It’s exciting to see how the existing providers take up the concepts of the newcomers and where they don’t or…
