Stellantis has purchased the intellectual property rights and patents of CloudMade to support the “SmartCockpit.” CloudMade has an “AI-powered framework” which Stellantis claimed is “the industry-leading cloud and software development kit for collecting and analyzing automotive data sets.”
CloudMade’s 44 employees are also joining Stellantis. The goal is to provide:
- Predictive maintenance and diagnostics, especially handy for fleets
- Personalized “in-car experiences” to adapt to climate control, entertainment, and “driving style coaching”
- A voice assistant that is not an Alexa or Google option
- Remote commands including pre-trip planning and battery preconditioning
- Advanced navigation and mapping with real-time traffic and smarter routing
- Fleet management features
This takes the company far, far beyond the old engine computers (shown due to lack of a relevant photo).
David Zatz started what was to become the world’s biggest, most comprehensive Mopar site in 1994 as he pursued a career in organizational research and change. After a chemo-induced break, during which he wrote car books covering Vipers, minivans, and Jeeps, he returned with Patrick Rall to create StellPower.com for daily news, and to set up MoTales for mo’ tales.
David Zatz has around 30 years of experience in covering Chrysler/Mopar news and history, and most recently wrote Century of Chrysler, a 100-year retrospective on the Chrysler marque.
