The auto and digital-technology industries have circled each other warily for years. Now, the worlds of cars and information technology are colliding.
Advanced safety systems that steer or brake the car to avoid collisions, dynamic dashboard displays, and automated driving systems all depend on powerful microprocessors, sophisticated software and advanced big data sifting that car makers aren't equipped to develop alone.
The cultural gap is wide. Auto makers design vehicles on multiyear cycles that are glacial by Silicon Valley standards. Auto engineers can't fathom how Silicon Valley tolerates systems that periodically need rebooting.
