Platform for standardizing vehicle communications with third-party applications

摘要

A business-to-vehicle platform functions as an information technology (IT) integration platform to support secure communication between a vehicle's onboard IT system and any offboard third-party IT system. In one embodiment, the a vehicle's communication hub is decoupled from all voice and data traffic to/from third-party service providers, such that the vehicles will “look and feel” like standard business IT devices to the third-party service providers. In certain embodiments, this decoupling enables the use of standardized business IT services in vehicles, rather than the traditional approach of requiring vehicle-specific embedded services.
