Amazon connects cars to the cloud with NXP

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has partnered with NXP Semiconductors to deliver an edge-to-cloud compute solution for next generation vehicles.

The solution includes expanded access to real-time, vehicle-wide data, secure connectivity to the cloud and streamlined machine learning.

The integration of AWS edge and cloud services with NXP’s new S32G vehicle network processor will enable data-driven services such as predictive maintenance.

Real-time insights will enable carmakers to monitor potential component failures before a repair is needed, prevent costly warranty repairs and recalls, optimise the supply chain and improve the customer experience by minimising service visits.

Alongside this, vehicle sensors and data can be used to deliver remote viewing inside and around the vehicle for convenience, safety and security.

Henri Ardevol, executive vice president and general manager of automotive processing at NXP Semiconductors, said: “NXP is pleased to collaborate with AWS to help our automotive customers accelerate their digital transformation initiatives by unlocking the value of vehicle data and leveraging edge-to-cloud services.

"We see the opportunity to help them make impactful improvements throughout vehicle life cycles with new vehicle data insights and the ability to make continuous improvements using machine learning and over-the-air updates.”
