Honda and Alibaba team up to make it possible to pay parking fees in the car with Alipay in the future

According to foreign media reports, Honda announced that it will carry out in-depth cooperation with Alibaba Group in the field of Internet of Vehicles. They hope to realize such a scenario in the future, allowing drivers to book services or goods through Amap and pay through Alipay. Fuel and parking fees can also be paid through this system.

Honda and AutoNavi have been working together on a multi-purpose car navigation system using big data since 2015, and they hope to expand their cooperation and use Alibaba's services to provide a wider range of services for the connected car. The connected car requires the same technology as smartphones, such as payment platforms and artificial intelligence, and Alipay, with more than 500 million users, is a common payment method in China, so it is a natural choice for Honda to choose Alipay as the payment platform for the in-car entertainment system.

Honda has always had good sales in China. If this plan goes smoothly and this system is equipped as standard on all new Honda models, it will definitely bring great convenience to the travel life of the majority of car owners. It will be so cool that they don't have to open the window to pay cash for parking fees! This will also stimulate Honda's sales in China to a certain extent.
