Let’s move on to the next slide. We are convinced there’s a good chance that we can increase sales by including swivelling headlights as standard equipment. The solid line represents sales with the headlights as standard. The dotted line indicates sales without, and the blue-coloured line shows potential sales with the lights as an optional extra. As you can see, offering the headlights as standard is clearly the best option. That’s why we think it’s highly probable that our main competitors will also follow this strategy.

So, that brings me to the end of my talk today. It’s possible that you do not agree with all the points of view I presented today about the intelligent car of the future. You may feel afraid of the new technology and the fact that the car will make all the decisions that drivers now make. Let me conclude by saying there’s no doubt that the future means the end of driver self-determination in favour of the thinking car. Now, I’m sure you have some questions.

Hello. My name’s Cathy Epson from Elite Satallite. I’m here today to talk to you about the most significant development in driver comfort in the last ten years – telematics.

I’d like you to sit back and relax while I show a short film which shows the benefits of our product.
