“This represents an important step in developing connected car technology. CloudCar has been working with premium manufacturers on some of the most exciting opportunities and challenges in the fields of machine learning and infotainment,” said Hanno Kirner, Executive Director of Corporate Strategy, Jaguar Land Rover
“This investment is integral to Jaguar Land Rover’s vehicle technology programme but the programme also presents an invaluable opportunity for other automotive manufacturers to get involved,” he added.
According to Hanno Kirner, the eventual need to integrate into the car hundreds of driver-focused global cloud services and content means this platform is an example where cooperation between OEMs can improve outcomes for customers, as well as reducing costs.
“We are excited to deepen our relationship with Jaguar Land Rover and we also look forward to other manufacturers benefitting from our recent progress,” said Philipp Popov, CEO, CloudCar.
