The Dutch chipmaker, NXP Semiconductors, on November 17, 2020, announced its strategic partnership with Amazon.com’s cloud computing unit for helping cars in communication with data centers.

NXP, being one of the biggest suppliers of computing chips to automakers and Amazon Web Services, is also the largest cloud computing service by revenue. NXP and Amazon said the partnership will fuel for making a new NXP chip designed for aggregating data from a car’s systems and sending it over the internet for working better with Amazon’s data centers.
