The world's fourth-largest carmaker believes that it will have 34 million connected vehicles on the streets by the year 2030 from 12 million now, according to a projection by the world's long-term software strategy.
Software is playing an increasing role in vehicles where they can help manage electric motors and batteries, set-up and support for a wide range of functions such as autonomous driving, entertainment and navigation.
Investors are increasingly valuing automakers based on their software capability, which includes improving vehicle battery performance and strategies for gathering, interpreting and monetising data coming from cars.
Stellantis Chief Software Officer Yves Bonnefont said the group would move its vehicles from current dedicated electronic architectures to an open software platform, leveraging partnerships.
He said that we don't want to do everything by ourselves.
Stellantis has strategic partnerships with companies including BMW, the IPhone maker Foxconn and Alphabet Inc's Waymo, which will allow it to drive innovation, efficiency and share know-how.
From 2024, Stellantis will deploy three new technology platforms powered by artificial intelligence, to be named STLA Brain, STLA SmartCockpit and STLA AutoDrive.
