Changing consumer

The Sexy Dynamic Experience is not 

simply for smartphones. The auto 

industry now faces it in multiple areas. 

Changes in consumer behavior and 

changes in the competitive balance 

are together accelerating the pace 

of innovation in the auto industry, 

especially in the key areas of mobility-

on-demand, autonomous vehicles, and 

connectivity.

In each of these spaces, an 

accelerated pace of innovation is 

occurring at different rates, forcing the 

auto industry to address a number of 

faster clockspeeds, from affordable 

upgrading of sensors, actuators, 

and displays in 18 to 36 months to 

quarterly over-the-air upgrades of 

software.

Consumers want one trillion 

miles of more mobility



Focus group results

In previous papers, we described how innovations in 

autonomous vehicles, connectivity, and mobility-on-

demand are affecting consumer behavior and creating 

new unmet consumer needs. We haven’t changed our 

perspective. Those innovations are producing changes 

in consumer behavior that lead them toward the Sexy 

Dynamic Experience, creating the faster clockspeeds that 

the auto industry must satisfy—especially when it comes 

to mobility options.

One thing is different, however: We are floored by how 

much the pace of change has accelerated in just one year. 

When we look at focus groups and our modeling, we 

understand why. 



Two roads to the same place: An increasing desire for 

mobility options

Two generations will largely drive consumer demand in 

the future, the millennials and the “baby boomers plus”—

those ranging in age from 45 to 75 years. Both groups are 

changing their behaviors but in wildly different ways. The 

boomers are moving into cities and holding onto their cars, 

at least for now. Millennials’ income and debt levels restrict 

their buying power and reduce their brand loyalty. The 

boomers and millennials share one interest, however: They 

already like mobility-on-demand services. We think their 

like is going to turn into love.

Mary Anne, 37 (Atlanta)

“My dad is in his early 80s. We have had 

problems. We actually moved him from 

San Diego to here a year ago. None of us 

can get in a car with him. We all get sick. 

He’s hit stop signs. He killed a tree. He 

will not stop driving. It’s nerve-wracking. 

Mobility-on-demand would be perfect.”

Ron, 67 (Denver)

“I happen to live in a retirement 

community. There’s an awful lot of 

people there who shouldn’t be driving.”

Lenny, 71 (Denver)

“My mother had dementia for years. 

She’d have loved this because she would 

have loved me not showing up all the 

time telling her what to do.”

Antoinette, 53 (Atlanta)

“Both my parents have Parkinson’s. My 

dad does not drive at all. My mom does 

not drive at night anymore. Mother is 

very active. She plays bridge all over the 

city. She’ll come visit me. Her driving is 

always an issue. This would be great.”

Lesley, 56 (Chicago)

“The auto parts store used to keep 

sideview mirrors for Mom’s car in stock 

because she knocked them off all the 

time. I’d walk in, and the guy at the auto 

parts store would tell me, ‘by the way, 

we have three extra mirrors for you.’”

Focus group participants: 

Aging/Parents

The 45-to-75-year-olds

Among the boomers plus, people are living longer, delaying 

retirement, and moving to cities. Sixty-five is the new 45. 

In this demographic, many are still working in their sixties 

because they are healthier than past generations. 

Older boomers, however, have concerns about the safety 

of their driving as they age. So do their children. They are 

not going to stop being active, however. Some of them will 

continue to work well beyond the typical retirement age, all 

the while traveling on the weekends. Some will slow down 

but still join their friends and families for weekly activities, 

whether card games, concerts, sports events, or the 

activities of their children and grandchildren. Others may do 

far less, but over the next decade, the 45–75 year olds will 

still be healthier than in the past and more tech savvy. They 

won’t be intimidated by mobility options.

We have changed the images of our participants to protect their privacy.

About our focus groups

KPMG held focus groups in three locations: Denver, 

Colorado; Chicago, Illinois; and Atlanta, Georgia. We 

selected the locations to achieve both geographic and 

cultural diversity. Denver is an up-and-coming millennial 

city with relatively little in the way of public transportation 

and higher vehicle ownership. Chicago has a clearer center 

of gravity and is far better served by public transportation. 

It is possible to live in Chicago without owning a car 

although a majority of residents do, in fact, own a vehicle. 

Atlanta, Georgia is a large city with relatively little in the 

way of public transportation, a high vehicle ownership 

and attachment to vehicles, and high commute times. 

Participants in our focus group were at least 18 years of 

age. All had completed some college or vocational school. 

All had family incomes over $25,000 per year. 



65 is the new 45.

“I don’t have to take the keys away from my dad.”
