Vehicles are no longer just a means of getting from Point A to Point B – they are an extension of ourselves and a way to stay connected when on the go.

Topics to be addressed include how the vehicle is now a smartphone accessory, as well as the new connected features of multimedia in-dash systems, such as voice recognition and hands-free texting. This session will also explore the “perfect” car UI; expanding on whether voice, touch or gesture works best for specific tasks, and which solution stands the best chance for market success.
