DENSO, Intel to Collaborate on Next-gen In-vehicle Information and Comms Systems
Kariya, Japan, Mar 2, 2012 (JCN) - DENSO Corp. has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Intel Corp. to collaborate on next-generation in-vehicle information and communication systems. The goal of the joint project is to develop a platform for in-vehicle information and communication systems to provide drivers information about their vehicles and to seamlessly connect to information and content from mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets.
The research will effectively bring together the companies' broad-ranging technical expertise - Intel's experience in developing technologies for personal computing and DENSO's knowledge of balancing quality requirements needed to install IT products in vehicles with advanced infotainment functions.
DENSO has developed smartphone-connected technologies and services, such as the NaviBridge and the ARPEGGiO, which connect to information and content on smartphones and safely displays it in the vehicle to mitigate driver distraction - helping make driving safe, more convenient, and more comfortable. DENSO will continue to work with various IT companies and semiconductor manufacturers, including Intel, home appliance makers, and other companies to further develop technologies and platforms for next-generation in-vehicle information and communication system.
