Amazon Web Services will be used by BMW to manage data from its connected cars.
BMW says it has 20 million connected cars. BMW's future lineup of electric vehicles will be powered by the Amazon Web Services software. The platform will process roughly triple the volume of vehicle data compared to the current generation of BMW models.

Modern vehicles are powered by more software features than before. In order to better manage the data generated by their vehicles, automakers are striking licensing deals with Silicon Valley's software giants. The data is used to develop new products to sell to their customers as well as lay the groundwork for more self-driving features in the future.
Amazon said it is targeting other car companies as clients for its software, in order to collect vehicle data, manage large fleets of vehicles, and improve the maintenance and repair process. Amazon says that the platform can allow automakers to deliver advanced vehicle features and more personalized driver experiences.
According to the companies, the cloud is more secure than that of other software providers. Both BMW and Amazon said so.
Only the BMW Group’s internal domain experts — vehicle application developers, fleet managers, data scientists, and artificial intelligence, business intelligence, and development engineers — gain access to the data via a self-service mechanism that gathers streaming vehicle data, easily adds new data sources, configures access in accordance with governance policies, and monitors the quality and health of streaming sources.
