General Motors bietet zukünftig neue E-Commerce-Möglichkeiten über das digitale Cockpit. Ob das allerdings Kundenwunsch Nr. 1 ist, wage ich zu bezweifeln.
General Motors on Tuesday said it will equip newer cars with in-dash e-commerce technology, betting it can profit as drivers order food, find fuel or reserve hotel rooms by tapping icons on the dashboard screen, instead of using smartphones while driving.
GM’s Marketplace technology, developed with IBM, will be uploaded automatically to about 1.9 million model-year 2017 and later vehicles starting immediately, with about 4 million vehicles across the Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac brands equipped with the capability in the United States by the end of 2018, GM said.
GM will get an undisclosed amount of revenue from merchants featured on its in-dash Marketplace, Santiago Chamorro, GM vice president for global connected customer experience, said during a briefing for reporters. Customers will not be charged for using the service or the data transmitted to and from the car while making transactions, he said.
„This platform is financed by the merchants,“ Chamorro said. GM will get paid for placing a merchant’s application on its screens, and „there’s some level of revenue sharing“ based on each transaction, he said.
