Introducing the AWS Connected Vehicle Solution

Posted on: Nov 20, 2017

Automotive manufacturers and suppliers can more easily develop and deploy a wide range of innovative connected vehicle services on the AWS Cloud.  

The AWS Solutions team offers the connected vehicle solution, a reference implementation that provides secure vehicle connectivity to the AWS Cloud, and includes capabilities for local computing within vehicles, sophisticated event rules, and data processing and storage. The solution is designed to provide a framework for connected vehicle services, allowing you to focus on extending the solution's functionality rather than managing the underlying infrastructure operations. You can build upon this framework to address a wide range of use cases such as voice interaction, navigation and other location-based services, remote vehicle diagnostics and health monitoring, predictive analytics and required maintenance alerts, media streaming services, vehicle safety and security services, head unit applications, and mobile applications.

The connected vehicle solution can help provide a foundation for transformative automotive products that include vehicle connectivity, autonomous driving, electric drive, and shared mobility. The solution features fast and robust data ingestion, highly reliable and durable storage, simple, scalable big data services, and global messaging and application services. Customers can deploy the solution's AWS CloudFormation template into their accounts and start building custom connected vehicle solutions in minutes.

The solution deploys Amazon Kinesis, Amazon DynamoDB, AWS Lambda, Amazon S3, and Amazon SNS; and it configures AWS IoT.
