\nGeneral Motors taps Apple executive to lead software effort<\/br>
\n2023-05-09 22:08:10<\/br><\/p>\n

General Motors has hired Apple executive Mike Abbott to head up its software division as the automaker ramps up its efforts to sell \u201csoftware-defined vehicles\u201d that offer a wide array of capabilities from in-car subscriptions and apps to over-the-air updates and digital services.<\/p>\n

Abbott, the former vice president of engineering for Apple\u2019s cloud services division, will report to GM Chair and CEO Mary Barra. The official title of this newly created position is executive vice president of software.<\/p>\n

Abbott will play a central role in GM\u2019s plan to bring software development in house and launch revenue-generating digital services and features for its consumer and commercial customers. Software has become increasingly important in the automotive industry as companies try to attract buyers with so-called \u201csoftware-defined vehicles\u201d that offer voice, navigation and even third-party apps. Automakers\u2019 shift to EVs has only accelerated those efforts as software plays a key role in behind-the-scenes battery management to front-facing features like showing the driver where EV chargers are located.<\/p>\n

Abbott will lead the team responsible for that entire software ecosystem. He will oversee three software departments: software-defined vehicle and operating system that is led by Scott Miller, information and digital technology headed up by Stacy Lynett and Edward Kummer\u2019s digital business team.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have entered the next phase of our technology driven transformation focused on rapidly scaling new EV models and our Ultifi<\/a> software platform, which will drive faster innovation and enable new and exciting customer experiences,\u201d Barra said in a statement. \u201cMike\u2019s experience as a founder and entrepreneur coupled with his proven track record creating and delivering some of the market\u2019s most compelling software-defined solutions for consumers and companies make him an excellent fit at GM.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ultifi is an end-to-end software platform<\/a> built on top of GM\u2019s existing vehicle intelligence platform \u2014 the underlying hardware architecture that provides greater data processing power. Ultifi, which is rolling out to some GM brands later this year, brings all of the vehicle\u2019s modules to a single platform, making it easier and faster to issue over-the-air software updates and give owners access to subscription services and other in-car tech. Ultifi meant to be integrated alongside Android Automotive, the operating system embedded in some GM infotainment systems. (Android Automotive OS is separate from Android Auto, which is a secondary interface that lies on top of the operating system.)<\/p>\n

During his time at Apple, Abbott led the team that developed core infrastructure for all of Apple\u2019s cloud-based services, including iCloud iMessage, private relay, mail and account security. His team also created products for Apple\u2019s education and enterprise categories.<\/p>\n

Abbott was previously general partner at\u00a0Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers focused on investments in mobile and cloud computing, as well as working with entrepreneurs to better leverage social media tools, build teams and increase their funding. Abbott has also led teams responsible for developing applications and services at Twitter, Palm<\/a> and Microsoft.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
