It’s getting to the point where it’s not terribly easy to keep track of all the in-car entertainment initiatives our wondrous connected future has in store, but here’s two names you’ll want to remember: GENIVI and MeeGo. The former is an industry alliance that now includes automakers GM, BMW, Hyundai and Peugeot Citroen alongside the likes of ARM, NVIDIA, Nokia and Intel, and MeeGo is the Linux-based OS that they’ve just decided will soon be powering our cars.
Ford too today announced a new hands-free technology that lets motorists use Twitter while driving.
That confirms that the automotive market will be the next big growing market for UX advertiser. Furthermore, the success of a car will be determined not only by the quality of hardware features but by the UX interaction inside of the car the producers will be able to offer.
Music, information, entertainment, social networking, car tracking, weather, custom application that allows the driver and the passengers to interact with the car and achieve a customized driving experience are only few elements to develop.
Are car producers going to build their own application stores?
Could it be that soon we will share our car data with our websites and check the engine and wheel status online?
