Evolution Of In-Vehicle Infotainment

Drivers may soon control in-car computers and carry-in mobile devices using voice and gesture: Consumer electronics inside new cars is allowing people to create personalized experiences to stay informed or entertained while not distracting the driver from keeping eyes on the road. Staci Palmer, general manager of the automotive solutions division at Intel, said that whether people bring their own mobile devices into their vehicle or have mobile computing applications already available through an in-
vehicle infotainment system, it's best to have these  technologies built for voice or simple gesture controls. "There's also a lot of evolution around ideas like gesture control, so with a simple swipe of a hand you can change from one radio station to the next," she said.
