SAIC Motor and AWS Partner for Intelligent Mobility

The Fortune Global 500 corporation and biggest automaker in China, i-SMART connected vehicle platform, has chosen AWS as its key cloud provider.

SAIC MOTOR powers its i-SMART connected vehicle platform which enables intelligent driving experiences in half a million vehicles across Australia, Europe, the Middle East, New Zealand, and South America with the help of AWS’s global infrastructure and portfolio of technologies, including high performance compute (HPC), storage, and Internet of Things (IoT).

SAIC i-SMART, which runs on AWS, lets drivers use their smartphone to monitor, control, and update in-car systems anywhere in the globe. SAIC MOTOR stores vast volumes of vehicle data on Amazon Simple Storage solution (Amazon S3), an object storage solution with industry-leading durability, availability, security, and scalability.

In addition, these customized services can execute a remote diagnostic check to verify a car is operating at peak efficiency and doesn’t require maintenance, or they can evaluate driving habits and vehicle systems to recommend nearby fueling or charging stations depending on the projected driving distance.

In addition, SAIC MOTOR leverages serverless services like AWS Lambda and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) to create an elastic and agile architecture for connected vehicles that can grow internationally.

Customers may enjoy seamless, low-latency access thanks to this architecture, especially during peak driving hours like the morning and evening commutes. Furthermore, SAIC MOTOR developed serverless IoT apps based on AWS IoT Core for data collection, processing, and analysis related to vehicles.

In order to customize the in-car experience with virtual assistants that can offer customized recommendations, like routing and virtual tours, and to automatically diagnose vehicle issues using the owner’s manual, SAIC MOTOR plans to utilize AWS generative artificial intelligence in the future.
