Connected Car Technology Heralding an Era of Safety & Confort in Driving Automotive electronics and wireless technologies have shown tremendous growth over the last few years. The advancement in these technologies coupled with device convergence and changing lifestyle demands, has taken the automobile driving experience far beyond traditional vehicle transport. Most cars these days are already equipped with cutting-edge innovations such as accident-avoidance lasers and smart parking capabilities. With more advancement in technology, wireless car-to-car communications, and even citywide traffic control may soon become a reality. Safety and the Connected Car Innovations in in-car infotainment technology are geared towards steering us to safer roads. While the century-old auto industry is undergoing this revolutionary change, it’s easy to think that these new technologies will become driver distractions. But the fact is that advanced in-car infotainment technologies are focused on minimizing driver distraction, by leveraging voice- recognition systems allowing drivers to keep their eyes on the road. With legal regulations on accessing cell phones, text messages, and the Internet from behind the wheel, a hands-free voice-recognition scheme is probably the best means of staying connected while on the move. Connected car technology has the capability to completely transform road travel experience. According to a recent ABI Research, one can expect to see connectivity being used in many new ways. For instance, in-car connectivity can help monitor individual driving behavior that in turn can offer useful insights for improving driving skills and reduce risk of accidents; likewise, capabilities for prognostics and preventive maintenance can help avoid breakdowns and reduce repair costs. Moreover, the ability to steer clear of traffic jams may soon become a reality as connected car technology can help warn drivers about a traffic jam prompting them to take evasive action, thus preventing a simple slowdown from becoming a gridlock. The Prediction According to an ABI Research, by 2017, nearly 50 million connected cars will be sold every year. Penetration of factory-installed safety and security telematics in new cars will reach 15.7 percent this year. There is said to be more than $20 billion in market opportunity by 2025 through connectivity solutions and embedded telematics. The connected car may have struggled to take off, but it sure won’t be long before it becomes most sought after. Have a look at - connected vehicle integrated solutions
