AWS re:Invent 2023 - Innovate and modernize connected vehicle platforms with AWS IoT (IOT204)

Summary

AWS IoT services are helping OEMs build and modernize connected vehicle platforms with scalable, multi-region, and cost-effective solutions.
Lowry Snow, Andrea Ketzer, and Yozo Takehara presented on AWS IoT services, modernizing vehicle data platforms, and Honda's migration to AWS IoT.
AWS IoT Core, FleetWise, and Kinesis Video Streams are key services for enhancing connected vehicle platforms.
AWS IoT Core enables reliable vehicle-to-cloud communication using MQTT, which is essential for remote vehicle commands.
AWS IoT FleetWise facilitates efficient vehicle data collection and management, with new features for vision system data from cameras, radars, and lidars.
Kinesis Video Streams allows for real-time streaming of video and audio into the cloud, enabling features like vehicle security mode.
AWS provides reference architectures, blueprints, and a partner community to support both builders and buyers of connected vehicle solutions.
Yozo Takehara shared Honda's journey to AWS IoT, highlighting the benefits of managed MQTT for faster remote operations and scalability.

The automotive industry is increasingly relying on cloud services to handle the complexity and data volume of modern vehicles, especially for software-defined vehicles (SDVs).
AWS IoT services are designed to address common challenges in the automotive industry, such as scalability, cost, and user experience.
The transition from legacy systems to cloud-based solutions like AWS IoT can significantly improve operational efficiency and customer satisfaction.
AWS's managed services and solutions are tailored to reduce development and maintenance costs while optimizing data ingest and enabling personalized user experiences.
Honda's case study illustrates the practical benefits of migrating to AWS IoT, including faster remote operations and the ability to scale during usage spikes.
AWS emphasizes the importance of customer feedback in the continuous innovation of their IoT services, as seen with the introduction of new FleetWise features.
The session highlighted the collaborative approach AWS takes with its customers, offering support and expertise to integrate AWS IoT services into existing vehicle platforms.
