The feeling of uncertainty may come in the future of Windows phones, but the mobile vision of Microsoft now extends to another frontier, cars. A partnership with the automobile manufacturers Renault and Nissan, treats the car of the future much like Microsoft treats PCs.

Microsoft made it known that it has struck a multi-year deal with Renault-Nissan Alliance to power the car maker's future vehicles by utilizing Microsoft's Azure cloud technology.

Renault-Nissan got their hopes up to have 10 models of autonomous vehicles (driverless car or self-driving car) on the road by 2020, and the automobile manufacturer will use Microsoft's cloud for technologies that optimize the driver's time, according to PC World.

The interesting part about their collaboration is how Renault describes its car of the future, basically, in much the same way how people view PCs today.

For instance, if a person will purchase a Renault or Nissan and then later buy another car from those brands, the car manufacturer will say that a person will be able to log in, and their settings and data will transfer between the cars.

Renault-Nissan Alliance Senior VP of Connected Vehicles and Mobility Services, Ogi Redzic, said in a statement that as cars become increasingly connected, intelligent and personal, and associate as partners with Microsoft will allow the companies to accelerate services customers want. The company can also build new ones that people haven't even imagined.

Redzic added that they aim to become the provider of connected mobility to people with one single global platform, based on the report of Computer World.

However, this is not Microsoft's first Azure-powered connected car outing. In fact, Toyota joined forces with Microsoft in April to create a new division of its company that will utilize data from the cloud to make cars more intelligent, PC Mag reported.
