Software giant SAP plots connected vehicle roles

摘要

German software giant SAP plans to become a bigger player in the burgeoning field of connected car services. SAP, with global 2017 revenue of $27.14 billion, is working on two automotive areas. The first is capturing data from fleets of 100 to 1,000 vehicles to help fleet managers make better business decisions. The second is enabling drivers to pay for parking or fuel without leaving their vehicles. SAP's chief expert of connected vehicles, Heino Kantimm, 47, shared more with Automotive News Europe Correspondent Olive Keogh.
