Products
Vehicle Cloud
The connected car backend handling telemetry, data pipelines and in-vehicle services. It is where the volume of data generated by a connected fleet becomes an engineering problem of its own, separate from anything happening in the car.
42dot.ai
Mobility Services
Fleet management, routing and demand platforms for shared and commercial mobility operations. It applies the same software stack to vehicles the group operates itself rather than sells, which gives the platform a testing ground under real conditions.
42dot.ai
Autonomous Driving
Perception, planning and control software for driver assistance and autonomous operation. The team runs its own test fleets in Korea and the United States to gather the data these systems require, because a carmaker cannot buy that data from anyone else.
42dot.ai
Over-the-Air Updates
Infrastructure for delivering software updates to vehicles already in customers' hands. It changes a car from a fixed product into one whose capability can be extended after sale, which also changes how features can be sold.
42dot.ai
Software Defined Vehicle Platform
The vehicle operating system and architecture intended to run across the group's future models. Moving from dozens of supplier-controlled electronic units to a centralised software stack is the single largest engineering change facing traditional carmakers.
