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).
