German automaker Volkswagen will use Microsoft Corp’s Azure cloud platform to provide all future digital services and mobility offerings across its entire fleet.
From 2020, more than 5 million new Volkswagen-specific brand vehicles per year will be connected through Microsoft’s cloud and internet of things (IoT).
Volkswagen will establish an automotive cloud development office in Washington State close to Microsoft’s headquarters.
Automakers have been partnering with consumer technology companies as they increasingly invest in connected cars.
