The power of connected car begins with a vision. To bring our

learnings from inside the office, to transform the driving experience.

To make what we do in our cars and how we drive something new, dynamic, and exciting.

Here at Microsoft, we're not building cars. We're creating the technology to

make your car better. We've been pioneering the technologies that changed how we drive.

Like remote sensors, navigation, mobile and entertainment features,

and voice recognition. And we've developed the operating systems and connectivity that

help identify problems before they happen and connect people to roadside assistance

in an emergency, making driving safer and our cars more secure.

And since 1995, we've been collaborating with the world's most innovative car companies to

create the technology that empowers people to do more in their cars.

Today, all of that is about to get even better. Driving can be so

much more than taking you from point A to point B. So your life doesn't stop when you get in the

car. The future of connected car is being built on the technologies that will

make driving personalized, predictive, and proactive.

The cars of tomorrow will

soon service rich computing environments. They'll do everything from communicate diagnostic

status and preemptive maintenance to anticipating your next move in your schedule.

At Microsoft, we invest more than 11 billion dollars in R&D to build

the next generation of

innovative technologies to get you there. We're on the cusp of a revolution in connected

cars. Our mission here at Microsoft Licensing is to push the boundaries of how our technologies can

innovate, empower, and redefine connected cars.

By the year 2020, there will be 250 million connected cars on our

highways.

So the real question is, where can we go next?
