FCA’s innovation teams got the idea of the Know & Go app by the company’s first “Pitch Night” program in June. The program engages employees in creating, developing, and presenting new ideas for connectivity and infotainment. More than 500 ideas were submitted before being narrowed down 50 in the first round of eliminations. From then on, the top-14 ideas were chosen. Coaches and executive sponsors were assigned to the finalists to help guide prototype development and fine-tune the “Pitch” as they prepared to present their ideas to a panel of judges, including FCA’s Chief Executive Officer Mike Manley, Chief Operating Officer Mark Stewart, and several members of the executive leadership team. 

The Know & Go mobile app will be available through the customer’s preferred app store. After purchasing a vehicle, customers will have the ability to download the app.
