Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Honda's 2026 SDV push creates immediate demand for Drivemode's connected services expertise.
  • Drivemode is hiring senior analytics talent in March 2026, signaling active product investment.
  • Honda's global EV and motorcycle programs give Drivemode direct access to production vehicles.

What critics are saying

  • Honda's ASIMO OS and 2026 0 Series centralize software, shrinking Drivemode's standalone leverage.
  • Drivemode's X account shows no posting, signaling low brand momentum and market visibility.
  • If Honda internalizes UX and app development, Drivemode becomes a redundant cost center.

What makes Drivemode unique

  • Honda acquired Drivemode in 2019, making it Honda R&D's software and UX arm.
  • Drivemode focuses on Honda and Acura connected services, apps, and platforms globally.
  • Its software spans vehicle companion apps, motorcycle software, and connected mobility consulting.
