Accelerate connected vehicle deployment with the Connected Mobility Solution on AWS

AWS is pleased to announce significant improvements to our Connected Mobility Solution (CMS), including the addition of an Automotive Cloud Developer Portal (ACDP). These enhancements include advanced DevOps features, deployment tools a like Cloud Formation and Cloud Developer Kit (CDK), and new plugins and metrics to help improve development and operational oversight of Connected Vehicle Platforms. Importantly, customers can now better manage their remote vehicle functions, such as over-the-air updates and lifecycle management, through a robust control plane.

ACDP (see Figure 1 below: CMS on AWS—Automotive Cloud Developer Portal) within CMS serves as a comprehensive hub for Connected Vehicle Platform (CVP) developers. It helps streamline collaboration, deployment, and operation of CVP (see Figure 2 below: CMS on AWS— CVP Architecture) assets. ACDP is designed to consolidate necessary tools, documentation, and metrics of Connected Vehicle Platforms, allowing developers to concentrate on delivering high-quality solutions. This includes deploying infrastructure modules, reusable code components, and managing deployable code assets.

With ACDP, customers can deploy connected vehicle components in a simpler and more secure way. For example, ACDP offers customers features like straightforward vehicle onboarding, a unified data plane for data standardization and storage, and alerting systems for data anomalies and threshold breaches. Additionally, users benefit from a fleet management portal and a vehicle telemetry simulator.

Modular and intuitive, CMS is designed for scalability and ease of use by customers. It is designed to help ensure secure and efficient deployment and management of connected mobility features by customers. Automotive manufacturers, suppliers, and mobility technology providers can use CMS to help deliver services like fleet management and vehicle personalization, driven by connected vehicle data. CMS also addresses key challenges faced by automotive customers such as cost optimization, reducing time to market, and easing developer workload through a platform engineering approach focused on the developer experience. Industry reports have shown that such well-architected platforms can lead to up to 25% cost savings, 40% increase in productivity, and 50% faster time to market.

Notable examples include Toyota, which has implemented similar platforms, resulting in significant time-to-market savings and annual cost reductions of over five million dollars.

To meet the rising digital expectations of consumers while controlling costs and development time, AWS introduces the new CMS. Bill Foy, Solutions and GTM Director for AWS Automotive and Manufacturing, highlights, “This solution empowers our customers to innovate and more efficiently deploy their own or partner solutions.”

CMS on AWS is now generally available. To get started, visit AWS Connected Mobility Solution. A live demo will be featured at the AWS Automotive booth at re:Invent 2023.
