Why NetApp for AI in automotive?
Your drivetrain to AI
AI is transforming the world of automotive. From connected and autonomous vehicles (AVs) to mobility as a service (MaaS) to smart manufacturing, AI is the motor, and a proper data infrastructure is the drivetrain. For automotive leaders, building an AI-ready infrastructure can seem more like an F1 track with hairpin turns, and less like a straightforward drag strip. NetApp AI solutions help you build a data pipeline across your hybrid cloud to fuel digital transformation, improve data mobility, and propel next-generation vehicles.
Fuel autonomous vehicles and mobility as a service
Training autonomous vehicles to see and make split-second decisions through AI and computer vision is no easy task. It requires an efficient data pipeline spanning edge, core, and cloud to quickly turn massive volumes of diverse vehicle data into actionable insights. With 108 billion miles of estimated demand for the United States alone,Statista, Mobility-as-a-Service: Statistics & facts, April 2022 AVs pose a colossal opportunity for MaaS. Soon, AI algorithms will be driving semitrucks and mass transit solutions. And, with the boom in pay-per-use services, they’ll even deliver your groceries.
Connected vehicles and services around the globe
From in-car personal assistants and dynamic maintenance to alleviating rush-hour traffic, AI and natural language processing are revolutionizing the driver experience. Connected-vehicle development relies on instant, secure, and always-on access to data from vehicles across the world. NetApp® AI solutions help blast data silos and improve data mobility to reinforce a continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) model.
Manufacturing made smarter with AI
Industry 4.0 has arrived, and manufacturers need AI-powered smart factories that deliver operational and cost efficiencies. Your infrastructure shouldn’t struggle to keep up. NetApp AI solutions integrate with your existing IT infrastructure, delivering the performance, mobility, protection, and scalability you need to stay relevant and profitable in the automotive industry.
