Honda ( HMC ) is using AWS to accelerate the development of software-defined vehicles (SDVs) through its cloud-based Digital Proving Ground (DPG).

The platform collects real-time vehicle data, estimates EV range, tracks energy consumption, and delivers over-the-air updates.

By shifting design and testing to the cloud, Honda ( HMC ) reduces reliance on physical hardware, cutting costs and speeding up development.

AWS IoT services help Honda ( HMC ) enhance vehicle safety and autonomy by enabling continuous software updates and predictive maintenance.

Additionally, Honda ( HMC ) plans to use Amazon Kinesis Video Streams to develop AI-powered video analytics that detect abnormal movements and alert drivers to potential risks.

Ozgur Tohumcu, director of Automotive and Manufacturing at AWS said, "Vehicles now function as intelligent, connected platforms on wheels, not just stand-alone machines. Generative AI will help automakers develop new features while bringing new models to consumers faster and more cost-effectively."

Investors can gain exposure to the stock via SPDR S&P Kensho Smart Mobility ETF ( HAIL ) and The 2023 ETF Series Trust II GMO International Value ETF .
