Independent hardware-centric products were once a staple of our daily lives, but today, in 2024, software-based vehicles have become the future trend for automotive companies.

A noteworthy development is the FoD (Functions on Demand) service. This allows consumers to subscribe to various vehicle functions based on their needs and preferences.

Kia, for example, offers a wide range of features through the Kia Connect Store. Consumers can experience new technologies tailored to their daily lives through one-time purchases or subscription services.

Mercedes-Benz is another company offering subscription-based services for driving-related features. Depending on their choices, users can access various functions for a satisfying driving experience.

BMW takes it a step further by recommending specific products or offering free trials, and encourages purchases through a convenient shopping cart feature.
