Cars are now shipping with sensors and internet connectivity. At HERE, we are building cloud services designed to gather data and distribute it to improve safety. Learn how the Internet of Cars will make driving safer both for human drivers and self-driving cars. The development of a Digital Transportation Infrastructure promises that more drivers will be able to drive more efficiently and comfortably in the future. Since this system needs to be rapidly scalable, I will discuss features of the cloud and the DevOps toolkit that make delivery of Automotive Cloud Services a reality today.
