Automotive infotainment in our ever-connected era
Automotive
infotainment is a combination of in-vehicle entertainment and information and
includes in-vehicle navigation, audio, video, as well as internet connectivity.
The system is embedded with mobile navigation systems, telematics systems, and
video systems. These systems are based on an operating system.
An operating
system (OS) is an integral part of a system as it acts as an interface between
user and the hardware components. The OS acts as the base of operations for
many software components like middleware and automotive firmware to enable the
required functionalities in the infotainment system.
