Microsoft Automotive News | November 2020<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\"Ein<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
With\u00a0<\/span>autumn<\/span>\u00a0in full swing, it continues to be an exciting time for Microsoft in automotive. We were recently featured in a Financial Times story,\u00a0<\/span>Microsoft sets sights on \u2018auto connectivity,\u2019<\/span><\/a>\u00a0highlighting our efforts to enable automakers with connected vehicle technologies. I particularly liked how the article called out our emphasis on building trust with automakers, supplying them with connected technologies, and not competing with them.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At our recent\u00a0<\/span>Ignite<\/span>\u00a02020<\/span><\/a>\u00a0conference, we announced new capabilities around Power Platform, Dynamics 365, and Azure Arc, which help organizations digitize their end-to-end business operations and swiftly react to a changing market. The\u00a0<\/span>Microsoft for Startups: Autonomous Driving Program<\/span><\/i>\u00a0was also featured at Ignite. UK-based\u00a0<\/span>Wa<\/span>yve<\/span><\/a>, a self-driving startup that is pioneering advanced AI software for the next generation of self-driving cars, spoke about its unique end-to-end reinforcement learning-based approach.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mixed Reality was also a hot topic at Ignite.\u00a0<\/span>During her keynote\u00a0<\/span>prese<\/span>ntation<\/span><\/a>, Microsoft CVP of Business Applications & Global Industry, Alysa Taylor,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>featured\u00a0<\/span>Mercedes Benz<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span>and their innovative use of\u00a0<\/span>HoloLens 2 and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Remote Assist to enable remote vehicle maintenance in nearly 400 dealerships in the United States. Similarly,\u00a0<\/span>BMW<\/span><\/a>\u00a0is taking new approaches with AI and\u00a0<\/span>mixed\u00a0<\/span>R<\/span>eality to support internal training\u00a0<\/span>and\u00a0<\/span>sales.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Toyota\u202f<\/span><\/a>is also using HoloLens 2<\/span>\u202f<\/span>to assist with the analysis of aerodynamics during the vehicle design process. By using multiple HoloLens 2 devices, Toyota\u2019s team can share their virtual view with others to streamline the design review process, even while working remotely.\u00a0<\/span>Also, Toyota Motor North America (TMNA) uses\u00a0<\/span>Power Platform<\/span>, Teams, and Azure Arc to drive faster results.\u00a0<\/span>In his\u00a0<\/span>b<\/span>log<\/span><\/a>,<\/span>\u00a0James Philips, president, Microsoft Business Applications,\u00a0<\/span>highlighted how TMNA is leveraging Power Apps, with over 400 applications in progress, along with over 800 Power Automate flows, to help them improve business processes and boost customer service and satisfaction.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sustainability continues to be a key focus for Microsoft in automotive.\u00a0<\/span>Microsoft\u00a0<\/span>recently<\/span>\u00a0expanded our\u00a0<\/span>sustainability goals<\/span><\/a>\u00a0to reduce our carbon footprint.\u00a0<\/span>We plan to make the company carbon-negative by 2030, and we back that commitment with a $1B investment in the Climate Innovation Fund over four years. Open access to data is essential to sustainability, especially in automotive. The right information access can help a shipping company divide freight among trucks to maximize capacity. It could also help taxi drivers predict traffic and passenger demand to save fuel. Scenarios like these drive Microsoft\u2019s commitment to address the \u201cdata divide\u201d through the\u00a0<\/span>Open Data Campaign<\/span><\/a>. Of course, no single company can do this alone. We welcome all our customers and partners to join us in this initiative.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I also want to say thank you! Despite these turbulent times, I\u2019m amazed at the resiliency and rebound we\u2019re seeing in the auto industry. We\u2019re proud to continue our partnership to drive innovation together.<\/span><\/p>\n
