Why Connected Cars Need Global Standards

This bonus episode of Drivetime — MOVE Monday — features Alysia Johnson, President of the Car Connectivity Consortium (CCC), and Ian Televik, Senior Marketing Director at the organisation. They discuss the role global standards play in making connected vehicle technology simpler, safer and more scalable. The conversation focuses on CCC Digital Key, a technology standard that allows drivers to access and start vehicles using a smartphone. Alysia and Ian explain why collaboration between automakers, device manufacturers, technology companies and suppliers is essential if connected vehicle experiences are going to work seamlessly across brands, devices and markets.

They also explore the growing opportunities for fleets, car rental operators and shared mobility providers, where digital keys can transform everything from vehicle handovers to customer journeys. With more than 300 member companies and millions of vehicles already deployed, CCC is helping create a future where digital vehicle access becomes as familiar and trusted as mobile payments. The discussion looks beyond passenger vehicles too, covering software-defined fleets, micromobility, two-wheelers and the broader challenge of creating technology that simply works, regardless of the vehicle, device or location.
