IBM today announced its collaboration with the following European companies - Volkswagen (Germany), Moovster (Germany) and Vinturas (the Netherlands) - which could redefine the future of these automotive industries through AI and Cloud Hybrid.
"Our relationship with vehicles and the way we experience mobility can change drastically over the next ten years," said Dirk Wollschlaeger, general manager of Global Automotive, Aerospace & Defense Industries, IBM. "AI and the Hybrid Cloud are perceived as key factors for the evolution of business models and driver relationships, involving personalized digital services integrated into and around the vehicle."
A survey conducted by IBM in September 2017 among automotive industry executives around the world showed that 73% of those surveyed believe that future mobility services will need to be created with consumers as digital technologies redefine the relationship that we have it with our vehicles.
IBM is working on introducing Cloud Hybrid and AI solutions - including IoT and Blockchain - into the automotive industry to boost their digital reinvention.
