Dependency risks emerge from concentrated component suppliers and stringent certification processes. Switching costs for end users are influenced by service provider lock-in and proprietary software ecosystems. Partnerships between OEMs and system integrators are critical to address regional variations in mobility infrastructure and user needs."
