Three years ago, Stelandis announced that it combines Amazon to create a car software that will bring a number of connected products and services to 2024 as part of the wider automaker’s plan to create $ 22.5 billion per year from the software.
This never happened. And now the cooperation “is over” Reported Reuters. The article also stated that the Amazon staff working for the project had moved or abandoned the company, according to anonymous sources.
Stelantis confirmed Reuters’ report and told TechCrunch that he would rotate in an Android -based system.
“Amazon remains a valuable Stelandis partner and companies continue to work on a series of initiatives,” the automotive industry said in a statement. For example, Stellantis will continue to use Amazon Web services as the preferred cloud provider for vehicle platforms. Amazon’s Alexa will also continue to be available on Stellantis vehicles.
Stelantis created an ambitious plan in December 2021 to have 34 million connected cars on the road by 2030.
Stelantis has collaborated with BMW, Foxconn, Waymo and Amazon to reach this goal.
The plan for using a car software for the sale of passengers and drivers and subscriptions included three elements.
It started with an underlying system of architecture and software that Stellantis was named Stla Brain. In addition to the brain, Stelantis will add a “Stla Smartcockpit”, a platform for providing driver applications such as navigation, voice aid, e -commerce market and payment services, as well as applications that provide personalized driver experiences and passengers. A third track included an automated driver called “Autodrive”, developed with BMW.
Amazon has been used to help Stelantis with Stla Smartcockpit, especially with technology that will be adapted to customer behaviors and interests and then deliver personalized services.
Stelantis told TechCrunch that he was stuck with the smart cockpit platform. Now it seems that the Google Android system, used by numerous automakers, is directed to this future software platform.
