An advanced software platform for future vehicles is one of the things that will be developed by the two companies. Data will be sent to the company's cloud server for processing when this "software-defined vehicle" is built.
One of the largest auto groups in the world, the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance, struck a deal with the tech giant in the year 2000. As part of the deal, the Alliance decided to use the native car operating system from GOOGLE.
According to the company, it is appointing the cloud provider as its preferred one.
The announcement today is between two companies. It only applies to the French car maker's four brands. The company says it will use the cloud provider of its choice. Amazon Web Services has been used by other automotive companies.
The first deal was to put Android in millions of cars. The announcement today is a bit more complex. The Digital Twin is a virtual carbon copy of a vehicle that features advanced artificial intelligence capabilities for an easier and continuous integration of new services into the vehicle.
Collaboration on software and testing out new artificial intelligence capabilities in a virtual simulation will help improve the vehicle's operations. When the car needs maintenance, the driver will be told. Vehicle owners will get to create a personalized experience that includes driving behavior, frequent destinations, and EV charging locations. Real data from the car can be used to build insurance models.
As they rush to compete withTesla, other automakers are also developing software-defined vehicles as they try to define what customers want from their vehicle's software. The idea is that a vehicle is sold with a base level of hardware and that its features are dictated by its software which can be updated and improved with over-the-air updates.
Over the course of a decade, Google has tried to get into the car space, but it has not been easy. The company has been able to get major car companies to bend to its will.
