From unsupported EV software to AI‑driven changes in office use and logistics, tech is reshaping collateral performance. Justin Patrie, Head of Fitch Ratings Credit Commentary and Research, and Suzanne Albers, Senior Director in Structured Finance, look at pressure points such as outdated EV systems, shifts in office demand linked to AI adoption, and the widening gap between legacy and modern logistics sites. Taken together, these trends are influencing risk across auto ABS, CMBS, and RMBS and accelerating how these sectors respond to the faster pace of technological change.
