According to a statement released by both firms, they aim to:

1. Create, secure and transfer driver profiles and settings from one car to another.

2. Support productivity software integration.

3. Provide a route for over-the-air software updates for things like autonomous drive software.

4. Help car owners monitor their vehicles from a distance.

Those were just some of the benefits that car lovers would have for buying future models installed with Microsoft. Since the era of electric and autonomous cars are is starting to rise, the public must be able to use the new technology provided by these companies.

It also appears that Microsoft is beginning to adapt the Artificial Intelligence in their future products. However, Microsoft's Satya Nadella stated that they are not trying to replace humans with A.I.

"We have set ourselves a goal for democratizing AI," Nadella told the crowd during his keynote speech on Monday.
