What is In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) system?
For the development of automotive industry and transportation, In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) system has been a kind of computer application delivering real-time traffic information and entertainment services, such as navigation, video-audio streaming and networked computing within road-vehicles. New challenge exists in the development of the whole IT and automotive industries; in particular, tier-one vendors are increasingly viewing IVI systems as a key differentiator in their products.
As vehicles become more connected to the Internet and other technical devices with artificial intelligence, the demand for the related hardware/software compliance and interoperability verification increases and Allion always strives to accelerate the pace of IVI system innovation.
