Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) stole the lead in telematics news this month as BMW launched an ambitious research initiative called the UR:BAN project, which aims to develop new driver assistance and traffic management systems for the cities of tomorrow. Furthermore, Opera Software, makers of the Opera mobile web browser, which has more than 187 million users worldwide, announced the release of the Pioneer CarBrowser App powered by Opera Mini. It is clear that an enhanced driving experience and connectivity is now at the top of the top of several automakers agendas.
The CarBrowser is available on the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S and compatible with Pioneers AppRadio and AppRadio Mode featured in-car stereo systems. The goal of the CarBrowser is to provide complete in-vehicle access to the Internet that is easily viewable and optimized for the in-car environment. It is exciting to turn the mobile web browser into the automobile web browser says Frode Hernes, the companys vice president of products for connected devices. He demonstrates that connectivity is becoming fundamental to the vehicle and that it is an exciting time for automakers.
Research from Telematics Update has identified the Human Machine Interface (HMI) as a fundamental element to bringing these new connectivity features into the vehicle. The HMI Report 2012 edition has been created to help automakers and tier one companies develop a winning HMI experience for the connected car to enhance user experience and create product differentiation.
