Porsche in talks with Google about integrating software: CEO Oliver Blume

Porsche is in talks with Alphabet's Google about integrating its software into its car cockpit, Chief Executive Oliver Blume told journalists after presenting full-year results.

Talks about Google Automotive Services are underway, Blume said, adding the carmaker was also in talks with technology firms in China about catering to that market.

A source told Reuters in January that Porsche was weighing integrating Google's software, which would give Porsche customers access to Google applications like Google Maps and Google Assistant without needing to connect the car to an Android phone.
