Cars are zooming in as the third largest contributor to the world of Internet of Things (IoT), and the concept of predictive analytics is becoming critical to make use of the large amounts of connectivity, bandwidth and data. Vehicle manufacturers and the associated automotive ecosystem are just scratching the surface of predictive analytics but view it as an innovative tool to enable cost savings whilst fighting challenges such as data quality, type of data to tap into, and investment needed to capture and make sense of the information.

Select companies in the location-based services, internet aggregator service, and smart parking management companies are leading the development of solid use cases for predictive analytics that can be monetized into actual business models and application uses for the end user.

"There is a definite savings angle in using predictive analytics in the automotive industry, especially from a warranty standpoint where it can impact more than $450 in savings per car," said Frost & Sullivan Automotive & Transportation Research Manager Praveen Chandrasekar. "But, you tend to question if savings is the only angle for Big Data in this industry, which struggles to sell any kind of service to consumers - be it telematics or long term aftersales. Specific original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and vendors are even exploring the use of predictive analytics in the personalization of autonomous driving, which, once in automated mode, will mirror the driving style of a driver."
