Automotive Infotainment

Navigation Systems, Satellite and Digital Radio, Video, In-Car Computing, and Digital Content

Research Report

The amount of gadgetry drivers use is starting to rival consumer electronics used in the home. Millions of cars and trucks now have far more information and entertainment options than just weather and news radio; 20 million US drivers now have in-car video. DVDs and in-car Internet keep passengers entertained, while drivers can navigate using GPS and subscription applications like OnStar. A growing number of in-car infotainment devices are now part of integrated systems such as Ford’s SYNC which give drivers real-time updates on many aspects of the vehicle’s operation. Ford is competing with in-car electronics makers such as Audiovox, publishers such as Microsoft and open-source software alliances. These players are all working to establish standard infotainment frameworks that will let future devices work with today’s equipment.

This study covers the market for in-vehicle infotainment devices and services, and the architectures that make them work together.
