Two Automaker Groups Join Newly Formed Intelligent Car Coalition

The Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers and Association of Global Automakers joined the Intelligent Car Coalition, the coalition said Wednesday. They join AT&T and the Computer and Communications Industry Association on the steering committee for the newly formed group. "Connected cars benefit all of society by using advanced technologies to save lives, fuel, money, and carbon emissions,” said Catherine McCullough, coalition executive director. “The automotive, telecom and tech fields were separate, but now they are merging. These innovations are developing at a rapid pace, and we must engage with each other in a nimble, coordinated way to ensure that the safety, mobility, and environmental benefits of connected cars are available to everyone.”
