Microsoft and Toyota have signed a partnership that will invest 12 million dollars, he goes to work in a cloud-based platform that connects cars, houses, and charging stations for electric vehicles. Toyota Media Services is the division responsible for carrying out the project and the service will use Microsoft's Windows Azure, allowing them to work in mobile communication between the various points described in the preceding paragraph, in addition to improving GPS services, management energy, and security.
For Microsoft and Toyota this alliance is a step beyond that developments that are already in operation, such as Ford Sync by Microsoft or Toyota Entune, which are more focused from the point of view of the vehicle. The new platform has to be focused from the cloud so that you can reach the different elements that compose it, and we describe the idea with some examples: The first results come in electric and hybrid cars to be put on the market year comes, particularly in the two main countries for Toyota, the U.S.
and Japan. The car manufacturer thinks the idea will take about four years to mature and become global. Microsoft seems to be the main beneficiary of the agreement, as well as having a travel companion Toyota, the United States alone has sold more than one million Prius, you are opening the doors to negotiate with other manufacturers, and thus do Windows Azure more powerful (currently available in 170 countries).
In short, make our car a new node in the network, a new device connected. In the case of Microsoft, no doubt that in addition to Windows Azure Bing wants to brew their services in the agreement, but this time I checked.
