International Business Machines Corporation is about to develop new car connected services, in which the internet would be employed to connect vehicles to urban transport networks, service grids, and shops. The company would not achieve its objective alone, as it would collaborate with the French vehicle manufacturer, Peugeot.
IBM news reported that the financial terms of the partnership have not yet been disclosed. The agreement to introduce new types of high-tech services for automobiles has strengthened the partnership between the computer service provider and the vehicle manufacturer.
The managements of both companies have stated that they would not only introduce new services for drivers and passengers but also pioneer applications that would manage traffic and maintain cars. It is likely that the newly developed services would go beyond the existing services. IBM breaking news highlighted that Apple and Google currently offer a number of modern car services, including roadside guidance, driver navigation, and infotainment services.
IBM news today informed that the newly pioneered technology would not only manage traffic congestion but also reduce the levels of pollution. This information suggests that the businesses would take an environment-friendly initiative.
The Chief of IBM’s automotive consulting practice in Europe, Axel Rogaichus, stated that the collaboration between the two organizations represents one of the biggest partnerships in the automobile industry. European corporations are not new to IBM, as it had previously collaborated with the German auto supplier, Continental AG. The aim of that coordination was to develop an electronic horizon platform that allows cars to expect obstructions. Both companies have stated that they would jointly develop, sell, promote, and implement connected services with its new and current clients. An area of the French Capital, Paris, would be used to pioneer the various different services.
Company sources have informed that the latest association between the two would connect passenger automobiles to various networks of connected systems. Experts presented the view that several firms would benefit from the jointly developed technology, including retailers and car dealers. The services would introduce new business opportunities in the retail distribution and automotive sector.
The German automobile manufacturer, Bayerische Motoren Werke AG, has not welcomed the deal, as it has stated that it would not sell its users’ vehicle data to ‘third parties’ to which the two companies have confidently stated that they can jointly push the limits of mobility. Now it is yet to be seen that to what extent the two corporate giants are successful in introducing the communication technologies.
