Infotainment search is being driven by a significant global increase in the number of cars equipped with factory fitted mobile connectivity features designed to improve the driving experience for consumers in terms of safety, security, navigation and infotainment.
Deployment of smartphone connectivity and integration systems, infotainment services will now provide features such as news, weather, music streaming and social media to automotive drivers and passengers.
