The global auto industry underestimated China. Big mistake. China is no longer just manufacturing cars. They are manufacturing speed. Faster iteration. Better EV economics. Tighter software integration. More efficient supply chains. Legacy automakers optimized for quarterly profits. Chinese automakers optimized for survival through extreme competition. That creates a different kind of company. The lesson is bigger than cars. In the future, every company will either: 1. Move at software speed 2. Or become irrelevant The most dangerous competitor is not the one with the biggest brand. It’s the one learning the fastest. That’s why global automakers are trying to become “more Chinese.” But there’s a catch. If foreign brands outsource too much innovation, software, batteries, and manufacturing capability to China… Eventually consumers may ask: “Why not just buy the Chinese car directly?” This is the real disruption happening in the automotive industry right now. The winners of the next decade won’t necessarily be the companies with the longest history. They’ll be the companies with the fastest execution. Source : https://t.co/hf6grvHEwB Image : Getty Image
