Advocates of the new driving experience will tell you that the dream of connected cars is about to become a reality. However, technology information site Mashable believes that until automakers and application developers agree on how different types of cars and applications should be connected, people still cannot experience the benefits of connected cars.
In the field of connected cars, the four words industry standard are hot words. Application developers want to design only one excellent application, and then install this application in all car manufacturers' in-vehicle systems.
Jake Sigal, CEO of in-vehicle mobile application developer Livio, said, "An industrial standard in the automotive field will have an impact on the entire auto industry, just as the USB interface cable standard has affected the computer world." Accelerating the realization of the connected car concept, Ford acquired this company, which was established only 5 years ago, in September this year.
At the same time, for many drivers, connected cars are like dreams, but when will it come true? So, first look at the current development possibilities and which developers will be involved next?
Why interconnect? The future of driving
Consumers have always regarded cars as mechanical equipment. However, this situation is changing. Now more and more people are sitting in the car, hoping that the car can provide more new experiences for themselves. Like most new things in the 21st century, this experience needs to be connected.
Mike Vidikan, an analyst at European innovation consulting firm Innovaro's trend and forward team, said, "This is closely related to the intelligent adaptive environment and the Internet of Things. That is to say, you will want your car to be able to communicate with Communicate with each other at home, so that before you get home, the air conditioner will automatically turn on, and you will be greeted by a cool house. "
This is one of the possibilities. In addition, designers have many other ideas:
The connected car will be able to self-diagnose the problem and report the problem to inform the driver of the location of the nearest auto repair shop or auto parts store.
The car will begin to actively navigate, avoiding traffic jams and other roads with poor traffic.
Safety benefits: During driving, the car will be your partner, and it will say, "Hey, pay attention to the truck on the left."
Some recent examples are sufficient to describe a development trend, which shows that these new functions and features must be developed by the team to achieve.
Stronger search, cheapest parking
Kim Fennell is the president and CEO of deCarta, the world's leading independent provider of location-based services (LBS) software and services.
The patented software owned by deCarta can perform road search while you are driving. It displays the search results for driving within 20 minutes, and the summary of driving for several minutes outside the driving road. Abandoned gas station, etc. Fennel said, "The technology that exists today is to create driver-centric solutions."
To achieve all these results, a company alone cannot accomplish it. deCarta introduces new partners to add more functions to the platform, so that the platform can become the mainstay of the vehicle interface market.
Ben Sann, founder of parking search engine BestParking.com, has signed an agreement with deCarta to join the platform and let their search tool join the platform. BestParking ’s parking space location app downloads exceeded 1 million.
Sann said, "You do n’t want the two applications of driving and parking search to be separated, which will be distracting. If you integrate this application directly into the car dashboard, your car will know your destination and you will know the arrival Time. As a consumer and a driver, the only thing the app has to ask is how long you have to stop. "
How far is the dream realization?
In fact, the next-generation in-vehicle driving experience, such as Livio, deCarta, and Best Parking, are all products that are being developed. The emergence of a truly connected car will take some time.
Even aside from other possible challenges, such as data security, car driving safety, and software stability, the most important thing is actually industry standards.
Sann said, "We have different standards. This is a very big challenge. We don't want to develop separate applications for all different automotive automation platforms."
However, everything is moving forward again. Whether it is Livio or the iOS for Cars in-car system that Apple will release in 2014, connected cars have become a hot issue nowadays and are imperative.
