Since announcing their collaboration earlier this year, Continental and IBM have been working together to provide software and engineering services for an embedded vehicle client and a back-end platform to enable intelligent transportation systems. With highly scalable cloud platform services, automobile manufacturers will be able to deliver a wide range of new in-car services, intuitively connecting drivers and passengers to the outside world.

Since announcing their collaboration earlier this year, 260 Continental and 62 IBM have been working together to provide software and engineering services for an embedded vehicle client and a back-end platform to enable intelligent transportation systems. With highly scalable cloud platform services, automobile manufacturers will be able to deliver a wide range of new in-car services, intuitively connecting drivers and passengers to the outside world.
At CES, to be held 7-10 January 2014 in Las Vegas, Nevada, the two companies will display initial product concepts of the cooperation, which include connected electronic horizon and smart speech technologies.
The companies say that the electronic horizon platform utilises digital maps to anticipate the road ahead, effectively extending the horizon beyond what is immediately visible, and contributing to safer, smarter and cleaner mobility. Combining Continental’s expertise in speech interfaces in the vehicle with IBM’s interactive dialogue and content finding solution will create a more intelligent cloud-based voice solution compared to existing in-vehicle voice systems.
“Not only are drivers demanding a more digital lifestyle, connecting the vehicle is opening up a vast field of opportunities for services to make driving safer, more efficient and more comfortable,” said Helmut Matschi, head of Continental’s Interior Division and Member of the Executive Board. “Together with IBM we can now demonstrate new possibilities for the fully connected vehicle.”
