Infotainment

Infotainment systems are complex, needing to draw upon multimedia, radio, navigation, telematics, and internet-related technologies for their functionally. QNX® technology offers a strong foundation from which to address the myriad of challenges from these different industries, and QNX CAR does the difficult – often underestimated – work of integrating these technologies together.

• Integration of consumer technologies into a reliable vehicle environment
• An application platform for downloading content (applications, games, multimedia) after the vehicle has shipped
• Advanced HMI design with Adobe Flash, for graphically beautiful and responsive user interfaces
• Integration with speech technologies for email text-to-speech and hands-free communication
• Internet connectivity for distributed applications and cloud-hosted content

Our responsive, immersive, and reliable solution includes Adobe Flash support for advanced user interfaces (critical to today’s gaming demands) and support for the NetFront Browser.
