| Amazon helps automakers with FleetWise |
Amazon AWS Cloud Service has launched a new cloud data service that can help automakers remotely diagnose problems in cars to avoid reconnections, improve safety, and manage related data.
The new service is called AWS IoT FleetWise and is the latest tool in the AWS suite of products and services for the transportation industry. It was unveiled at the company's annual Re: Invent conference in Las Vegas.
FleetWise allows customers, including vehicle suppliers and transportation service providers, to collect, organize, and submit vehicle data to the cloud, while standardizing different data formats to simplify data analysis.
As the intelligence and complexity of vehicles increases, so does the massive amount of data from vehicles equipped with cameras, lidars, and radars.
FleetWise was developed to give customers easy access to hashed data from various models and brands.
FleetWise also aims to complement data-driven services provided by automakers. Including OnStar and Ford Pro Intelligence from General Motors.
This new service joins several AWS in-car and cloud-to-vehicle products and 185 business partners.
More emphasis is being placed on the industry's increasing conversion to software-defined vehicles and systems. Amazon tries to make it easier for customers to find solutions to problems. Relying on the development of self-driving cars and digital interaction with customers, including live broadcasting services.
