Luxoft collaborates with Microsoft to use its Connected Cars Platform

Luxoft has now announced a collaboration with Microsoft to accelerate the delivery of connected vehicle solutions and mobility experiences.

Connected cars are those that have devices that can connect with other devices inside and outside the automobile, with the help of the internet.

By using the MCVP (Microsoft Connected Vehicle Platform), DXC Technology Digital arm Luxoft will allow the automakers to deliver features such as advanced vehicle diagnostics, remote access, and repair and preventive maintenance. Collecting data in real-time will also support vehicle engineering to improve manufacturing quality.

With the help of MVCP, Microsoft provides a cloud-connected platform across digital scenarios on top of which customer-facing solutions, such as advanced navigation, in-vehicle infotainment, telematics, autonomous driving, and prediction services, can be built.
