A new report by Juniper Research on the telematics sector found that the number of in-vehicle apps in use is expected to reach 269 million by 2018, representing a more than five fold increase on last year’s figure.
Connected Cars: Consumer & Commercial Telematics and Infotainment 2014-2018 reports growth will be fueled by solutions such as Apple’s CarPlay, which will promote in-car apps.
It’s not only teens who text while driving but parents engage in distracted driving in front of their children.
A new survey from Liberty Mutal Insurance and SADD shows that parents drive without a seat belt, text, and driving after consuming alcohol, the same practices parents tell their kids to not do.
We’ve seen recent studies in connected car research from Harris, Frost and Sullivan, Parks Associates JD Power, Telefónica , and now Waggener Edstrom has released their
Frost & Sullivan’s analysis of the North American advanced connected car and ADAS systems found that consumers demand seamless connectivity and high-end infotainment features in cars. The company also noted that the industry is on its way to 000 (zero emissions, zero accidents and zero fatalities.
The research also found that night vision assist with pedestrian detection or collision warning and mitigation using augmented reality (AR) which were considered to be of higher importance compared to other features like power liftgate or ambient lighting in the vehicle.
Your driver’s seat may sense that you are drowsy and falling asleep are being developed by Nottingham Trent University researchers.
Professor Tilak Dias and William Hurley of the University’s Advanced Textile Research Group with Plessey are working to integrate an Electrocardiogram (ECG) sensors directly into the fabric of car seats.
42% of car owners (with a 2009 model or later, who are looking to buy a new car), have heard of Connected Cars but don’t
There are conflicting studies on who wants connected cars, who has heard of them and why. However, a Parks Associates study found that over 75%
Car makers are not listening to what people want in voice recognition systems reported Kristin Kolodge, JD Power’s executive director of driver interaction.
JD Power studies in the United States have shown that voice recognition is the most common type of problem voiced by car owners.
As much as one-third of infotainment system glitches were due to voice recognition, Kolodge said during a presentation at the 2014 Management Briefing Seminars.
A new study by Telefónica showed there is global demand for connected car services, with more than 70 per cent of drivers surveyed saying that
We previously reported that EV batteries are safe, the next worry for car owners is how safe is the body of the vehicle in a
With the catchy phrases “think shrink”, “smaller is bigger” and “min it to win it”, the Little Box Challenge, sponsored by Google and IEEE will pay a one million dollars to the company or entity that builds and designs a kW-scale inverter with the highest density of at least 50 watts per cubic inch.
Inverters are the boxes that convert direct current from sources such as solar panels or batteries and turns it into alternating current for use in homes, businesses or cars.
Where are the most dangerous fatal roads in the country? Traffic safety has improved in the country for the past ten years, however, traffic fatality rates are still generally higher in the Northern Plains and southern states than in the Northeast, Midwest and West, according to University of Michigan researcher, Michael Sivak. There is no way of telling, yet how connected cars will affect the number in the next decade.
U-M Transportation Research Institute studied individual fatality rates per distance driven and per population in all 50 states and the District of Columbia in 2012 (the latest available year) and 2005 (a recent peak).
