Microsoft, leader in platforms and cloud productivity solutions, and Faurecia, a leading automotive technology company, today announced a partnership to create disruptive, connected and personalized services inside the Cockpit of the Future.
Combining expertise in edge-computing, artificial intelligence, cloud-based services, cockpit systems integration and consumer insights, Faurecia targets to collaborate with Microsoft to develop digital services based on Microsoft Connected Vehicle Platform to reinvent the on-board experience for all occupants. Faurecia has also chosen Microsoft Cloud Azure as its preferred cloud platform.

This is another key step in building our differentiating ecosystem to accelerate innovation.”
