Ford November 11 announced two new connected vehicle agreements that will enable vehicle owners to potentially benefit from a wide range of personalized third‑party products and services, as it was informed in the press release.
Ford believes that the move to share vehicle data using an open platform can drive new business opportunities that offer tailored services including usage-based insurance, predictive maintenance and smart roadside recovery.
The collaboration with connected vehicle data marketplaces CARUSO and HIGH MOBILITY will enable third-party service providers to access Ford vehicle data safely and securely. The agreement ensures strict compliance with EU data protection regulations, and Ford owners maintain full control over their data.
CARUSO and HIGH MOBILITY will each act as a “neutral server” – an online data platform that is entirely independent from Ford and enables third-party service providers secure and compliant access to vehicle-generated data. This access will in turn enable third‑party providers to create value-added, individually tailored services to owners of Ford vehicles.
Ford recently announced that all new vehicle models sold in Europe will be fitted with FordPass Connect as standard and has made a wide range of connected vehicle services complimentary to its European customers.
