Connected Car Technology

June 14, 2012

Since city dwellers are spending an increasing amount of time in their cars, automobile manufacturers are adopting technology that effortlessly converts vehicles into fully functional mobile offices. The features of this technology are described in an article by Roudra Bhattacharya entitled “Drive Easy with a ‘Connected Car’” that recently appeared on The Hindu Business Line’s website:

“Most top technology firms such as Microsoft, Google and Siemens PLM are working on ‘connected car’ platforms with top carmakers today. Their aim? To help you make calls, browse the internet, watch videos and be virtually present at work meetings, while still keeping your hands free to do the most important thing – hold the steering wheel. Additionally, the car can also act like your ‘credit card’ by paying your toll fees wirelessly. GPS-based navigation systems can also be updated remotely via the Internet, enabling accuracy in directions even for the newest localities.”

Recognizing the growing need for mobile computing applications, Inforbix offers a cloud-based, scalable, and affordable product-lifestyle management (PLM) solution that can be launched through in-car technology systems so that workers can effortlessly find, reuse, and share product data on the go.
