No longer a mere means of transportation, the car is evolving into a mobile center integrated into the worldwide IT infrastructure.
Processing power is overtaking horsepower in car design, as
navigation, communications and entertainment systems converge
into a single, integrated environment. Imagine your in-car systems
consulting up-to-the-minute travel information to lead you around
traffic jams, checking the availability of hotel rooms as you enter a city, notifying you when that important e-mail has arrived, and
more! All of this integrated with the newest generation of in-car
entertainment and activated by the sound of your voice. Philips
Semiconductors' Car Infotainment Platform is putting the single
integrated automobile electronics system within reach of
manufacturers, enabling them to turn this vision of tomorrow into
today's reality.
