Google, Renault Group to build ‘software-defined vehicle’ for the future

Google has made breakthroughs in the automotive industry in the span of the last few years with Android Auto, which mimics the smartphone’s features for in-car news and entertainment, and Android Automotive which is an operating system particularly designed for cars that include Play Store support and a built-in Google Assistant. On Tuesday, Google and Renault Group revealed the expansion of their collaboration to produce the digital layout for the future ‘Software Defined Vehicle (SDV).

The ‘Software Defined Vehicle’ will enable the car to receive new on-demand services and continuous upgrades, utilising the present Android Automotive Operating System with the Google Cloud technology participation.

“Our collaboration with Renault Group has advanced comfort, safety, and connectivity on the road. The announcement will help accelerate Renault Group’s digital transformation by bringing together our expertise in the cloud, AI, and Android to provide a secure, highly-personalized experience that meets customers’ evolving expectations,” said Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google and Alphabet.

Renault Group will broaden its utilization of Google Cloud technology for this SDV to effectively manage data capture and analytics, along with software development for the vehicle, securely and confidentially.

The companies will establish a set of SDV-specific onboard and offboard software components, as well as expand synergies and use cases that are in relation to the group’s “Move to Cloud” strategy.

The partnership on cloud computing, which began in 2018, is gaining momentum with the development of a Digital Twin, a virtual twin of the machine with the most advanced AI capabilities.

“Equipped with a shared IT platform, continuous over-the-air updates, and streamlined access to car data, the SDV approach developed in partnership with Google will transform our vehicles to help serve future customers’ needs,” said Luca de Meo, Renault Group CEO.“Our strategic partnership with Google will allow us to accelerate our end-to-end digital transformation, from the design of the car to its market launch through its production, and ultimately to bring added value to our customers, he added.
