The Connected Car will more and more be connected to its smart environment and become part of a complex system-of-systems, which will cause new challenges in development. The aim of this paper is to identify challenges in the development of the Connected Car. To achieve this, an empirical study was undertaken. Data were collected during interviews with experts and via an online survey. Overall, 45 Experts with experience in the Connected Car domain participated. From the identified challenges, 5 fields of action for research and industry have resulted. This work aims to give recommendations for the adaption or development of new processes, methods and tools for the Connected Car domain in order to be more effective and efficient in future development.
