To deliver on that promise, we’re building a unified technology and software platform, including a vehicle OS and cloud platform, as well as a unified architecture. As a 100% subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group, we’re developing solutions for all of its brands, including Volkswagen, Audi, and Porsche, and will bring our software to over 40 million vehicles by 2030.
Is this an easy task? Not at all! To tackle such a huge challenge, we need a great team. And that’s where you come in. You’ll join more than 5,000 CARIDIANS already working on the latest vehicle features and functions like automated driving, state-of-the-art charging technology, as well as a new digital ecosystem. Together, we’re bringing sustainable change to one of the largest companies in the world.
YOUR TEAM
The Mobile & In-Car Apps department is building apps running on the mobile device as well as apps running on the infotainment system. The feature team Local Command & Control enables innovative features on the mobile device for direct communication with the vehicle. Examples are: Remote Parking (Control parking and pullout maneuver from outside of the vehicle), Personalisation (Automatically login to the infotainment system when approaching the vehicle), Light control (Demonstrate and personalize the exterior light of the vehicle), Holoride (Adapt virtual reality content to the movements of the vehicle), Calendar (Show calendar data from the mobile phone in the vehicle), External Device Interface (Provides access to vehicle interfaces from a mobile device).CarPlay+ provides vendor specific extensions of CarPlay that integrate vehicle functions. The functions are running on the mobile phone that is connected with the infotainment system over CarPlay, but are displayed in the infotainment system. Thereby, the customer can stay inside the CarPlay context, but is still able to control important vehicle functions. Moreover, more advanced functions are possible that combine the worlds of the mobile phone and the vehicle.
