Toyota 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, and marks the e-commerce giant’s expanding foray into the transportation business.
In July, AWS announced it was expanding a partnership with Germany’s Volkswagen AG (DE:VOWG_p) to help 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 (NYSE:APTV), Panasonic (OTC:PCRFY) Corp and Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) Corp, big transportation providers such as Uber (NYSE:UBER) and Avis, and self-driving heavy truck startups Embark and China’s TuSimple.
