Toyota taps AWS to build platform to manage and monetize data

Amazon.com’s cloud computing unit Amazon Web Services (AWS) will help Japan’s Toyota Motor to build a platform to help manage and monetize data gathered from the automaker’s global vehicle fleet.
Toyota CarmyToyota said its Mobility Services Platform will enable it to process and analyze data that can be used to develop vehicle services from ride and car sharing to behavior-based insurance and maintenance notifications.

The deal is an expansion of Amazon Web Services’ existing collaboration with Toyota.

AWS in July announced it was expanding a partnership with Germany’s Volkswagen to develop the automaker’s cloud-based software and data portal into an industry-wide marketplace where business customers can buy and sell industrial applications.

In the automotive sector, AWS previously has partnered with automotive suppliers such as Aptiv, Panasonic and Nvidia, big transportation providers such as Uber and Avis, and self-driving heavy truck startups Embark and China’s TuSimple.
