Abstract #
The automotive industry has gone through several major transformations over the past century. Most recently, Tesla has spearheaded a surprisingly comprehensive change of the business model, from the shift to electric and software-first to a new sales approach to intense vertical integration. This presentation discusses how industry transformations such as the one at hand can cause incumbents to be displaced and observes that, historically, the pace at which this occurs is accelerating.
