By using cloud technology, the software platform will ensure
that vehicles' control units and computers can get software throughout their
life time, the German auto supplier said.
The technology is based on Microsoft Azure and includes
software modules from Bosch, it said, adding that they plan to use the software
platform in vehicle prototypes by the end of 2021.
"We are thus creating the conditions for wireless
updates to work just as smoothly and conveniently on vehicles as they do on
smartphones," said Bosch Managing Director Markus Heyn.
The companies will also cooperate to adapt existing software
tools to let automakers and suppliers to simplify and accelerate their own
software updates.
Last week, German carmaker Volkswagen announced a similar
cooperation with Microsoft to use its cloud computing services to help it
streamline its software development efforts for self-driving cars.
