Why: The Connected Car Opportunity
> By year-end 2020, Gartner predicts that more than 80 percent of all new vehicles sold in mature automobile markets, such as the United States, will offer connected-vehicle functionality.
> A Business Insider report titled: “The Battle For The Connected Car: Google And Apple Want To Dominate Our Dashboards”, states:
• Within 5 years there will be over 60M connected-cars on the road globally
• Car-focused telecom, hardware and software services will drive some $51 billion in annual revenue by 2018.
• Americans spend an average of 1.2 hours a day traveling between locations
Google And Apple Want To Dominate Our Dashboards
> Google teamed up with Audi, GM, Honda, Hyundai and Nvidia to create the Open Automotive Alliance, a partnership that aims to bring the Android platform to cars starting in 2014.
• Google Bought Waze For $1B, Giving A Social Data Boost To Its Mapping Business
> Apple announced the Carplay technology in June 2013 which enables the Apple UI and control transfer from phone to IVI via USB
• Based on Apple Genevi announcement: First products coming to market in 2014 to include Volvo, Hyundai, Ferrari, Honda, Mercedes, Jaguar
• Symbio has partnered with Apple and Volvo over the last year to build the first commercially viable CarPlay implementation
What is Apple Carplay?
> Carplay is NOT an in-car system that runs iOS. It’s a system that integrates your iPhone apps with your car’s HMI, allowing you to control applications and your device.
> Introduced in iOS 7.1. Specifications available under NDA.
