The Taiwan company Foxconn that assembles the Apple iPhone is on its way to enter the world of electrical cars. For realising the purpose they have already opened an online platform to help the already existing automate companies that make electrical cars.

In an official statement by William Wei, the official said that we want to become the android in the world of electric cars. The technological giant till date has been known for assembling only electronic devices such as smartphones. But according to this latest development, Foxconn will now go into a market which is worth billions and would only increase in the coming years.

Foxconn believes it to be their mission to enter into the world of electrical cars. Android, which is the world’s largest operating system in terms of mobiles is so because it has an open source. Because of this very open source they dominate the world. What this means for users is that they can customise it and the makers can easily install it on their almost fully made smartphones.

In the very same spirit, Foxconn has introduced a new platform called MIH Open Platform. This platform will provide a set of tools that would allow companies to design the large parts that are required in an electric car that would be manufactured by Foxconn.

Carmakers can choose a particular design and also further customise it according to their needs. According to Foxconn this platform will prove to be modular which means that all the tools and parts bought will be eligible for exchange as well as upgradation till a specified date.

Foxconn is also working on software development for driverless cars but that is still a longshot. They are trying to get together nearly all parts required for building a car.

The company is said to be working on solid-state batteries. They believe they would be ready with such batteries by the year 2025 and if they do master it, it’ll give their company a boost. It was earlier said that after 2025 whoever masters the art of solid-state batteries will largely dominate the entire industry.
