Deep Connected Platform handles what Sikaria terms the “foundational pillars” of a connected vehicle: the ability to perform over the air software and configuration updates to every component, collect high-quality, event-driven data from the vehicle and transmit user-facing diagnostic commands that a service engineer could use to track down or repair a technical issue.
“Our investment in Sibros aligns with our pursuit of partnering with companies that solve unique challenges at the intersection of mobility and electrification,” Cherian said in a statement. Sibros had already established a relationship with Google, running on its cloud platform since the company's inception in 2019. Sikaria looks to broaden that relationship to work with additional automakers “and partner with them to bring an integrated solution with Android to the market.”
