BERLIN, Dec 8 (Reuters) – Only a handful of automotive companies are likely to sustain ambitious artificial intelligence investment in the coming years, a study released on Monday showed, raising doubts over whether current industry “euphoria” will deliver lasting benefits.<\/p>\n

By 2029, just 5% of automakers will maintain strong AI investment growth, down from over 95% today, technology research firm Gartner said in its report on 2026 predictions for the sector.<\/p>\n

The study found that only carmakers with strong software foundations, tech-savvy leadership and “a consistent very long-term focus on AI” are expected to pull ahead, potentially deepening a competitive AI divide.<\/p>\n

Volkswagen and other legacy manufacturers, long known for engineering rather than software skills, are battling to catch up with new tech-driven rivals such as Tesla (TSLA.O), opens new tab<\/a> and BYD (002594.SZ), opens new tab<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Many legacy automakers are trying, but internal obstacles and outdated mindsets hold them back, Gartner analyst Pedro Pacheco told Reuters.<\/p>\n

Success requires companies to become “digital-first” organisations, eliminating internal obstacles and prioritising technology at the highest levels, including direct reporting lines of software leaders to CEOs, Pacheco said.<\/p>\n

“A company that is not great at software … is going inevitably to struggle,” he added.<\/p>\n
