Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi teamed with Google in 2018 to incorporate its software platform and services such as Google Maps and Assistant into automobiles. Renault Group (Renault, Dacia, Alpine, and Mobilize) is now extending that collaboration with Google to build a “software-defined vehicle” (SDV) based on Android Automotive OS. The goal is to give “new on-demand services and continual improvements to the automobile,” with Google serving as the “preferred cloud provider.”
