Accenture and Google Cloud announced Volvo Cars as the lead industry partner for Horizon. This new open-source software development platform helps automotive manufacturers build, test, and deploy software. It specifically targets the Android Automotive Operating System (AAOS).
Volvo, as the lead partner, is migrating its global AAOS software development environment to Horizon. This transition provides Volvo's engineers with cloud-native tools, AI-assisted workflows, and virtual testing environments. The collaboration aims to accelerate in-car digital experience development. It also seeks to increase engineering productivity.
Insights from the Volvo partnership will refine the Horizon platform. These insights will also expand its generative AI capabilities for other automotive and industrial companies. The platform helps manufacturers deliver high-quality software faster. This meets consumer demand for connected vehicle features.
