Amazon and Stellantis Abandon Project to Create a Digital “SmartCockpit”

Automaker Stellantis and Amazon announced in 2022 a SmartCockpit project to integrate Amazon's in-car technology with Stellantis vehicles but are now ending the collaboration as of May 2025.
The partnership aimed to develop software for infotainment systems debuting by 2024, but weaker sales, leadership changes, and software complexity challenges contributed to the project's mutual winding down.
SmartCockpit was designed to offer personalized, AI-enabled features such as Alexa integration, navigation, in-car payments, and entertainment, but it failed to launch on schedule in 2024 and was quietly discontinued.
The companies stated ending the project allows each to focus on solutions better aligned with their evolving strategies and shared customer value while Stellantis continues using Amazon Web Services cloud.
The decision reflects broader difficulties automakers face developing advanced vehicle software and suggests Stellantis may now pivot to an Android-based system for future smart cockpit platforms.
