Consumer attitudes and behavior continue to change alongside the evolving public health and economic crisis. In this second edition report, we delve into how COVID-19 is impacting Americans and the automotive and mobility industry following the passage of the CARES act, release of "Opening Up America Again" guidelines, and extended stay-at-home orders in certain states.

### What's inside?

Based on results from our second national survey conducted from April 15 – 23, 2020, this report examines consumer attitudes and behaviors in four key areas with an expanded section on purchase behavior:

- **Consumer sentiment**: How are people thinking and feeling about Coronavirus?
- **Economic impact**: What do people think will happen with the economy?
- **Purchase behavior shift**: Is there a shift in purchase behavior, especially for new and used vehicles?
- **Mobility pattern shift**: Is there a change in mobility patterns?

The Internet of Things (IoT) market has tremendous potential and is highly competitive. This white paper will help companies better understand how to connect with consumers, accelerate growth and gain a competitive product development advantage.

### What's in the report?

Based on results from our national consumer omnibus study, this white paper reveals:

- An overview of how IoT is understood among consumers
