Stellantis and the Taiwanese tech company Foxconn start a joint venture with the aim of developing various connectivity services. Both Stellantis cars and any external companies can benefit from this.
Stellantis and Foxconn set up the Mobile Drive company together. Both parties will each receive exactly half of it, as has been laid down in a memorandum of understanding. Mobil Drive should focus on the development of various matters related to software and connectivity between cars and devices. Consider, for example, over-the-air updates, 5G connectivity and V2V (vehicle-to-vehicle) communication.
In the long term, the benefits of Mobil Drive should of course be reaped in Stellantis cars. The collaboration is intended to further advance the group in the field of autonomous driving, for example. We can also expect that the possibilities and efficacy of the infotainment systems will improve. Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares states in an official statement on the collaboration that the company is open to collaborations with other parties – possibly also other car manufacturers – as long as it does not harm the future of the company and there is a win-win situation. ‘.
