TOKYO -- Honda Motor and IBM said on Wednesday that they have signed a memorandum of understanding to collaborate on long-term research and development for next-generation computing technologies such as chips and software for future vehicles.
The Japanese and American companies said in a joint statement, "The application of intelligence/AI technologies [for vehicles] is expected to accelerate widely in 2030 and beyond, creating new opportunities for the development of SDVs" -- software-defined vehicles, run by software instead of being merely enhanced by it -- as automakers compete over autonomous driving and advanced driving support systems.
