52% of cars sold in the U.S. in 2014 had some form of connectivity.
12% can connect to a live agent for emergency or roadside assistance.
About a third of vehicles can view vehicle health reports, use Bluetooth and make or received hands-fee calls.

17% have mapping and navigation capabilities.
61% of car owners prefer to bundle vehicle data consumption with smartphone data consumption.
