Think of modern cars and car companies as having a very smart digital co‑pilot: AI helps design the car faster, choose the right features and prices, run factories more efficiently, and make driving safer and more personalized for the owner.
Reduces cost and time in vehicle development and manufacturing, improves safety and driver assistance, optimizes pricing and product mix, and enhances customer experience throughout the purchase and ownership journey.
Access to proprietary fleet and telematics data, established dealer and service networks, and integration of AI deeply into vehicle platforms and manufacturing workflows create defensibility versus software‑only entrants.
