Volkswagen AG’s Spanish unit agreed to a partnership with International Business Machines Corp. to develop an app that helps people navigate around congested cities.
The tool, called Mobility Adviser, will tell customers how to use multiple modes of transport to make crosstown journeys, Luca de Meo, president of Volkswagen-owned Seat, said during an interview at the MWC Barcelona conference on Monday. IBM will supply its Watson artificial intelligence system needed for the concept to work.
