    We can't deny that automotive technology is very high nowadays, which looks more comfortable for the new generation who already fond of digital technology , but when we manufacture a car it isn't for certain generation of people , which means I prefer only acceptable level of technology , plus this high technology can create false customer complaints , distract some drivers while using the car & customer does't feel value for money , because he maybe use only half of technology in his car & when we have a look at luxury cars , we find out that people who afford it can't fully utilize its technology

    In this growing world of Digitization it is obvious to have conflicts choosing a new technology, with my experience and knowledge gained so far I see a balance evaluation of multiple factors mentioned below is required: 1. Readiness of technology to understand how mature the technology is 2. Cost benefit analysis to understand the financial impact of adapting technology 3. Risk assessment to understand reliability and threats. 4. Skills check to understand capability and competency required. Evaluating above options, any new technology managing green ticks in above criteria in our favour I believe good to go ahead for a POC for a reality check.

    In the automotive industry, handling conflicting viewpoints on new technology involves a balanced approach. First, I encourage open dialogue among all team members, ensuring everyone's opinions are heard. Then, I rely on data and metrics, using real-world examples and case studies to inform decisions. Small-scale pilot programs are also essential, allowing us to test new tech in a low-risk environment before full implementation. Lastly, I prioritize training to ensure my team feels confident with new tools. This approach helps address concerns, foster adaptation, and drive innovation without compromising the team's operational efficiency.

    Navigating conflicting opinions on new technology in automotive manufacturing requires a delicate balance between innovation and conservatism. While technology can drive industrial transformation, it’s crucial for any business to consider both short-term profitability and long-term sustainability. Engaging in open dialogue is essential to ensure that all perspectives are heard and valued—after all, there are no foolish questions. Grounding decisions in data and real-world case studies, with a focus on objective outcomes, is key. Once profitability is theoretically proven, piloting new technologies on a smaller scale allows for practical assessment and gradual adoption, minimizing risks while maximizing learning opportunities.
