Stellantis N.V. has acquired the artificial intelligence (AI) framework, machine learning models and intellectual property rights and patents of CloudMade, a developer of big data-driven automotive solutions. The acquisition will support the development of its STLA SmartCockpit.

The AI-powered framework, created by CloudMade, is a cloud and software development kit for collecting and analysing automotive data sets.

It has been the reference point to transform the in-car and mobility user experience throughout the past decade.

CloudMade’s software technology will support Stellantis’ strategy to develop intelligent mobility products and enhance the overall customer experience with personalised features.

As part of the acquisition, 44 engineers and software developers from CloudMade, dedicated to the development of AI technology, will be joining Stellantis.

Yves Bonnefont, Stellantis Chief Software Officer, says: “The acquisition of CloudMade’s pioneering AI capabilities will accelerate our development journey on STLA SmartCockpit and help us deliver our Dare Forward 2030 goals. Thanks to this adaptable technology and leveraging our growing connected car parc, we will create intelligent mobility solutions faster and with more flexibility, to delight our customers with in-vehicle and mobile experience personalization.”

“CloudMade is extremely pleased with this transaction,” adds Jim Brown, founder and CTO of CloudMade. “The team is excited to deepen their working relationship with Stellantis to bring new features to the vehicle’s cockpit.”

Stellantis is executing its Dare Forward 2030, a strategic plan that paves the way to achieve the target of becoming a carbon net zero mobility tech company by 2038.
