Technological advancements in the automotive industry have been on the rise in the last five years. Newer concepts such as autonomous vehicles, connected cars and electric vehicles have been at the forefront of these developments. Ride sharing, which includes an online platform for booking rides, has also witnessed tremendous growth, in terms of revenue, in the last 2 to 3 years.
Growing congestion on roads, along with pollution emission from private vehicles has prompted people to opt for ride sharing and carpooling. This industry has some of the largest players operating globally, including Uber Technologies Inc., Lyft, Inc., and Didi Chuxing Technology Co., to name a few.
