CloudCar, based in Palo Alto, California, is the world's largest developer of connected driving. With its machine learning capability linked to car detectors, the service platform can be used by automakers - including voice applications and personalization - while preserving their own identity and retaining ownership of the data.

Hanno Kirner, Executive Director of Corporate Strategy for Jaguar Land Rover, comments: “This is an important step in the development of connected vehicle technologies. CloudCar works with premium automakers on the biggest challenges in the areas of machine learning and infotainment. This investment is an integral part of Jaguar Land Rover's technological development plan. But it also represents an invaluable opportunity for other manufacturers. The potential need to integrate hundreds of driver-oriented services into vehicles means that this platform is the perfect example where cooperation between manufacturers will improve the lives of customers while reducing costs. "

Philipp Popov, CEO of CloudCar, comments: "We are very pleased to strengthen our relationship with Jaguar Land Rover and we hope that other manufacturers will benefit from our recent progress. "

Jaguar Land Rover intends to be the first manufacturer to launch the new generation of CloudCar platform in its first 100% electric vehicle, the Jaguar I-Pace.
