Executive Summary
continued
to work with the Global Fleet Networking
Consortium to share knowledge across the
globe. I will continue to make a meaningful
difference in people’s life’s and create lasting
business networks. For fun, I plan to continue
my passion for great wine, good food and
outstanding friends.
It’s hard to image how technology will impact
the next 10 years. Hopefully, I can get a phone
fully integrated with my body so there’s no
device to lose and I don’t have to charge it. We
will see acceptance of autonomous vehicles
but first we’ll have to deal with the ethical
dilemmas of scenario’s where the autonomous
vehicle must decide which pedestrian to kill if
there is no other alternative.
Perhaps the greatest challenge of the 2020’s
will be who owns the metadata from our
online footprint, personal tracking assisted
by connected mobile phones and wearables
and of course the data produced from our
connected vehicle. It seems clear from reports
around the globe that vehicles manufacturers

are drawing up battle plans to insist they
own the data produced by the vehicle we
purchased from them. This assertion is brought
on by loss of revenue from reduced service
intervals for battery electric and hydrogen fuel
cell vehicles and potentially dwindling vehicle
sales by a new generation of youth happy to
rideshare rather than own a vehicle.
Taking just one year at a time, AfMA’s vision for
2020 includes: -
• Commence new cohorts for the Diploma of
Leadership and Management in Melbourne,
Sydney and Brisbane
• Grant general scholarships on behalf of
Pedders Brakes & Suspension, Autorola,
NTT DATA Figtree Systems and Geotab
• Grant young leaders under 30 and women
in fleet scholarships on behalf of Toyota
Motor Corporation Australia and Toyota Fleet
Management
• Launch the accredited individual supplier
membership and associated learning paths
