\nAs we talk about innovation, it was great to see automotive customers highlighted in Microsoft EVP Judson Althoff’s recent blog titled, “How Microsoft cloud technology and co-innovation approach are driving business value for customers across industry.<\/a>” While the blog touches on many sectors, Judson mentioned automotive companies like BMW<\/strong>, GM<\/strong>, Cruise<\/strong>, and Volkswagen<\/strong>, who see Microsoft as a trusted partner. It’s also exciting to see continued innovation with other companies. For example, Bosch<\/a> forges ahead in the software-defined vehicles space, and Amadeus<\/a> pursues unique customer experiences in the travel industry. These companies and others remain focused on developing capabilities that increase safety, reduce environmental impact, and increase productivity while on the go. We’re excited to be part of their journey.
\nIt’s an exciting time for our industry. Thank you for the opportunity to partner with you and help bring your next-generation innovations to fruition!
