This month Autotech Council meets to explore how car buyers are increasingly swayed by the infotainment systems when they purchase new cars. They’re looking for instant “curb appeal”, but also testing functionality before they commit to purchase. Will the car support the features and functions they want, and their platforms of choice? At each price range, competitive carmakers need to get it right. Join us as we dive into the subject, invite many carmakers, and many startups in the sector, and build those future relationships.

The automotive industry has come a long way since the introduction of the first in-car radio, revolutionizing how we experience car travel. Now, we find ourselves at the brink of an exciting era, where the convergence of technologies has paved the way for a new dimension of safety, driving pleasure, customization, and convenience. Today's vehicles have evolved into sophisticated connected platforms, transforming our daily commutes into useful, productive, entertaining, and informative experiences. And when we’re stopped, big screens and booming audio can make a car as engaging, immersive, and comfortable as our living rooms.

Today’s center-stack is tied to the entire car, and part of the Software-Defined Vehicle. That introduces complexity, but also the simplicity of designing and innovating in software, not hardware. The Infotainment system has important roles in:

• road safety
• new UIs, voice, gesture, additional screens and HUDs
• nav, routing, logistics, and energy efficiency
• V2V, V2I, smart city
• artificial intelligence
• augmented reality
• video and audio entertainment, streaming

• rear-seat entertainment and features
• personalized content
• downloadable apps
• security and privacy
• HVAC and comfort
• advanced connectivity
• autonomous capabilities

…and that’s a lot to have on your plate. And that’s not all, as every bullet in the list must be delivered with the utmost priority given to road safety, pedestrian safety, data security, and privacy concerns. Delivering complex solutions like those across so many domains requires many collaborators and open platforms.

The increasing functionality and screen size also represents increasing costs. Mordor Intelligence predicts a North American Infotainment market size CAGR of 6.8% YoY by end-2027
