Software GM will rely on its own cloud platform in cars from 2023
With its own cloud platform, GM wants to make itself independent of Apple and Google. In the future, it should also be possible to start the car using face recognition.
The US auto giant General Motors is relying on its own cloud platform in the cockpit to stop the advance of Google and Apple into the vehicles. Among other things, new functions are to be added via software updates, announced GM on Wednesday. The first cars with the new platform called Ultifi should come onto the market in 2023, both with electric drives and with combustion engines.
The later functions could include starting the car via face recognition, explained GM. Or the possibilities to adjust the vehicle settings for young drivers in some situations.
The automotive industry is currently going through a drastic change towards vehicles in which software plays the central role . Together with the trend towards electromobility, this changes both the internal architecture of the cars and the interaction of the occupants with the vehicle systems.
Some experts believe that Google and Apple As the operator of the two major smartphone platforms, they could play a key role in infotainment systems in this new world – because they want to continue using their usual mobile phone services seamlessly in the car. However, it is important for manufacturers to make money with various digital offers in the car. That’s why they want to be in control of the cockpit. Some enter into cooperation with tech companies, others develop software platforms largely on their own.
