Bringing Leaders Together To Establish Innovative Connectivity
The Car Connectivity Consortium brings automotive and consumer technology industries together to future-proof vehicle access using smart devices. Every significant manufacturer in every corner of the world — from Shanghai, China to Munich, Germany to New York City, USA — is a vital part of our member-based organization. Secure shareability is not just one of the unique aspects of the CCC Digital Key — it’s the foundation of our organization. With membership comes a seat at our table, no matter the size of your company or nonprofit, and an equal say in the gold standard of end-to-end interoperability. Cross-platform compatibility is our brand promise, so everyone globally can experience the same access to private, secure mobility.
Vision & Mission
Our vision is to be the trusted source for defining how vehicles interact with devices and the world to improve the consumer experience.
Our mission is to standardize the connected ecosystem around vehicles and devices with solutions that combine convenience, security, and privacy protections.
Private
We value privacy. Our technologies incorporate the highest level of privacy protection when it comes to shielding users from tracking, and the collecting, storing, and sharing of data.
Secure
Our Members combine the brightest minds from the world’s top vehicle and device manufacturers to embed and maintain state-of-the-art security throughout the technology we develop.
Easy
Good technologies should just work every time, instilling confidence. We take great care to develop specifications that do all of the hard work so the user experience appears fast, easy, and carefree for everyone.
