VW, Microsoft partner to develop self-driving car software
The deal will make it easier to deploy over-the-air software updates to cars, a practice that set Tesla apart from rivals, and will put VW Group brands including Audi and Porsche on a common cloud provider.

VW's new software division will build a cloud-based platform with Microsoft that will help simplify development processes and allow faster integration into its vehicle fleet, the automaker said Thursday in a statement.
