After the sale of the mobile division to Microsoft, Nokia is betting on smart cars in the wake of giants like Google and Tesla.
A few days ago appointed CEO of Nokia, Rajeev Suri announced an investment of 100 million dollars. The fund will be managed by Nokia Growth Partners and will work in symbiosis with "Here", a division of the Finnish company specializing in maps and geolocation services. The goal is to invest 100 million dollars in supporting companies engaged in the development of technologies for the cars of the future. That of "connected" cars, said number one Rajeev Suri, "is a significant growth opportunity".
Smart cars therefore, connected. A race in which Nokia joins Google, which continues to progress with driverless cars, and especially the billionaire Elon Musk, co-founder of Tesla, specializing in electric cars. Apple has also recently revealed its 'CarPlay' system which integrates iPhone functions into cars.
