Market Overview

A vehicle's infotainment technology is an incorporated media and information system that provides information and enjoyment to the driver and passengers. The system includes a computerized screen, often known as a head unit, that controls cabin temperature, media, and information. Information modules including navigation, telematics data, and internet access are also offered by the head unit. The automobile business is constantly evolving, with key manufacturers competing with one another to supply new technologies and enhancements to old technology. One of the primary trends noted in this industry is the integration of data and the usage of SIM cards, as well as features such as in-vehicle payment systems and the display of monitoring data to OEMs and drivers.
