In recent months, large technology companies such as Apple or Google are working with the most famous car brands to build a smart car, a device that can also be autonomous and allows better driving away from accidents.
And in this field, Microsoft is no stranger to it. Some days ago Microsoft and Toyota signed an agreement for the creation of Toyota Connected, a company specialized in Big Data that will be applied to the automotive world. Thus, Toyota will try to collect as much information as possible for this new company and Microsoft will provide Microsoft Azure so that the data obtained can then be used to the creation of a smart car and many think that it is also autonomous.
Toyota will create with Microsoft its intelligent car and maybe autonomous
At the moment it is all we know about this strange union and about Toyota's autonomous car, but without a doubt Toyota Connected will be a company with a great future because in addition to helping Toyota and Microsoft, it will also be able to sell the data to other brands and dealers With what the market that Toyota Connected will enter will be profitable, at least until someone decides to launch the first autonomous and intelligent car on the market, something that seems to take place shortly, if the laws allow it.
Leaving aside the automobile issue a bit, it seems that Microsoft is regaining its importance within the business world and it may be that if Toyota Connected plays a good role, the reputation of Bill Gates' company within the business world will grow significantly as Big Data is something that many companies appreciate and consider it as a great tool for the future. And going back to the automotive world, I wonder if users will really buy the smart car based on the technology company that manufactures it Will there also be smart car fanboys?
