  "account": "Honda and Nissan Motor Corp. have reached an agreement to collaborate on developing an operating system and onboard computers for next-generation vehicles. Their goal is to introduce this technology in new models starting in fiscal 2029, as they aim to compete with U.S. and Chinese automakers in the rapidly evolving software-defined vehicle market. The companies plan to jointly create the core software and onboard computers, aiming to roll out the technology from fiscal 2029. Mitsubishi Motors, which has a stake in Nissan, may also join the collaboration in the future. By sharing the costly development process for automotive software, Honda and Nissan hope to lower expenses and bolster their competitive edge against leading U.S. and Chinese manufacturers.",
