China’s largest automaker relies on AWS to
scale adoption of its SAIC i-SMART connected vehicle platform
globally, optimize vehicle performance, and develop personalized
features at the lowest cost
At AWS re:Invent, Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), an
Amazon.com, Inc. company (NASDAQ: AMZN), today announced that SAIC
MOTOR Overseas Intelligent Mobility Technology Co., Ltd. (SAIC
MOTOR), China’s largest automaker and a Fortune Global 500 company,
selected AWS as its strategic cloud provider for its i-SMART
connected vehicle platform. SAIC MOTOR is using AWS's global
infrastructure and portfolio of technologies, including high
performance compute (HPC), storage, and Internet of Things (IoT),
to power its i-SMART connected vehicle platform, which enables
intelligent driving experiences in half a million vehicles across
Australia, Europe, Middle East, New Zealand, and South America.
By running on AWS, SAIC i-SMART enables drivers to monitor,
interact with, and upgrade in-vehicle features around the world
using their mobile phone. SAIC MOTOR uses Amazon Simple Storage
Service (Amazon S3), an object storage service with
industry-leading durability, availability, security, and
scalability, to store massive amounts of vehicle data. With Amazon
Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS), SAIC MOTOR is able to
extract additional value from vehicle data to enhance the driving
experience. For example, this data is used to support remote
features, such as remote door lock and unlock, as well as cabin
preheating or cooling before drivers return to their vehicles.
These personalized services can also analyze vehicle systems and
driving behavior to suggest nearby gas or charging stations for
drivers based on estimated driving distance, or perform a remote
diagnostic scan to confirm a car is running at optimal performance
and doesn’t need servicing.
SAIC MOTOR also uses Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon
EKS), as well as serverless services, including AWS Lambda, to
build an elastic and agile connected vehicle architecture that can
scale globally. This architecture gives consumers seamless and low
latency access, even during peak drive times like morning and
evening commutes. In addition, SAIC MOTOR built serverless IoT
applications based on AWS IoT Core to collect, process, and analyze
vehicle data. AWS IoT Core allows the automaker to securely connect
vehicles and devices in the cloud, ingest large volumes of data for
real-time analysis, and perform remote fleetwide updates that
enhance the driving experience. In the future, SAIC MOTOR plans to
use AWS generative artificial intelligence (generative AI)
services, including Amazon Bedrock, a service that makes multiple
foundation models available via an API, to personalize the
in-vehicle experience with virtual assistants that can provide
tailored recommendations, such as routing and virtual tours, and to
automatically diagnose vehicle issues using the owner’s manual.
In addition, SAIC MOTOR integrated Amazon Music, an audio
entertainment service that connects fans, artists, and creators
through music and culture, to further enhance the in-vehicle
experience for its customers. The i-SMART connected vehicle
platform equipped with Amazon Music is available on the MG ZS EV,
MG5 EV, and MG4 EV models, offering drivers and passengers
high-quality streaming media services as part of its in-vehicle
listening experience.
“AWS has deep experience in driving innovation in the automotive
industry, with years of expertise in developing connected vehicles
and data analysis platforms,” said Jie Xu, CTO of SAIC MOTOR
Overseas Intelligent Mobility Technology Co., Ltd. “AWS's global
infrastructure, extensive cloud services, and industry-leading
safety and compliance practices helped SAIC MOTOR launch the
i-SMART connected vehicle system in countries around the world. We
look forward to continuing to work with AWS to innovate new driver
experiences, expand our business, and bring connected vehicles to
more consumers.”
“We’re excited to support SAIC MOTOR and its work to build and
offer an industry-leading connected vehicle platform, bringing a
customized and intelligent connected-car experience to overseas
consumers,” said Wendy Bauer, vice president and general manager of
Automotive and Manufacturing at AWS. “In the future, AWS will
continue to help the automotive industry innovate new features and
services that enhance driver experiences, improve safety standards,
drive sustainable mobility, and create smart and connected car
features for the global market.”
