CES 2017: Microsoft Connected Car 2.0 rolls along | ZDNet (Jan 5, 2017)

Given that so many big tech companies are falling over themselves to grab a slice of in-car technology, Microsoft’s strategy is somewhat striking – it doesn’t want a direct role in, say, autonomous driving, but instead wants to provide a set of services to enable others to build that and other in-car technology. That’s a subtle distinction, but a sensible one for Microsoft, and one that will allow it to be seen as less of a threat to the carmakers than either Google or Apple, which each appear to have deeper ambitions in the car.
