The future of the automotive industry is in connectivity, software, and services – and Autonomic is leading the charge. Autonomic created the Transportation Mobility Cloud (TMC) to provide automakers and developers with the first cloud platform specifically designed for the world’s automotive industry. Working closely with Ford Motor Company, we are combining the best of both worlds – Autonomic’s progressive approach to technology and Ford’s incredible and global scale – to enable the kind of driver experiences and business models that move us all forward. Autonomic created the Transportation Mobility Cloud to provide a common language and a robust platform that is capable of connecting millions of vehicles across any company and any service. Vehicles are sophisticated and complex machines - from their vehicle configurations to their electrical infrastructure to their proprietary data formats. The TMC simplifies how developers interact with these systems through an API-driven platform that enables bidirectional communication between vehicles, the cloud, and applications for both end users and businesses. Autonomic was founded in 2016 and acquired in 2018. Autonomic is a wholly owned subsidiary of Ford Smart Mobility.
