The conversation explores how NTCE develops vehicles manufactured in the UK for global markets and discusses the challenges of traditional vehicle development processes that rely heavily on physical vehicle testing. Terry explains how their partnership with Sonatus is revolutionizing their approach through two key AI solutions: Sonatus Collector AI, which enables remote data access and customizable data collection policies, and Sonatus AI Technician, which provides expert-level diagnostic guidance. These tools are helping Nissan reduce development time, minimize the need for expensive preproduction vehicles, and accelerate their start-of-production (SOP) cycles while maintaining quality standards. The interview showcases real demonstrations of the technology and highlights the significant time and resource savings achieved through this digital transformation approach.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/Ys8FNXarxOqKjw5TJt1R_JiIKU4ynpAzHjvooJ6O2Z8/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS80ZjYx/N2MzODgyZjA5YTk1/MTRiMzY2YmJkMWU3/ZTY3OC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
