BMW CarData gives BMW ConnectedDrive customers the ability to share telematics data from their BMW vehicles with third parties of their choice.
As a pilot partner, IBM has integrated Bluemix with the BMW CarData platform.
Vehicle data will be enhanced by IBM Watson IoT, using cognitive and data analytics services to enable third parties, such as automotive repair shops or insurance companies, to develop entirely new customer experiences.

IBM’s cloud platform Bluemix also gives developers access to the entire service catalogue from IBM and its ecosystem partners to build and run innovative new service offerings.
Customers will have to actively agree to share their encrypted telematics data when they want to use a specific service from a service provider.
In addition, IBM will also act as a neutral server for extended vehicle access.
This allows for the gathering of data from BMW vehicles but also vehicles from additional automotive manufacturers.
 |
Even though the US will only see the 640i xDrive model make its way over from Germany at first, the rest of the world will get to pick from a wider range of cars within the BMW 6 Series GT line-up.
The complete range available at launch will include models like the 630i, 640i, 640i xDrive, 630d and 630d xDrive offering interested customers plenty of choices from the get go.
Later down the line, even more versions will be launched, further expanding the portfolio.

In this role, IBM will help to realize the vision of a secure and open vehicle data platform as demanded by many players in the mobility ecosystem.
The first use cases and client services are expected to launch in the fall of 2017.

“The concept of a neutral server fosters innovation by establishing a single point of contact for multiple parties to access vehicle data from various manufacturers, thereby reducing integration cost whilst ensuring fair competition,” said Dirk Wollschlaeger, General Manager IBM Global Automotive, Aerospace and Defense.

Based in open standards, it features more than 150 tools and services spanning categories of cognitive intelligence, blockchain, security, Internet of Things, DevOps and more.
