The automotive industry is at an inflection point and digital transformation has completely transformed the vehicle as we know it. In-vehicle infotainment (IVI) has not only become a key purchasing factor for consumers nationwide, as nearly all new vehicles sold in the U.S. in 2020 (98.8%) had a digital display screen, but also a crucial technology to enable safety, smarter navigation, and enhanced experiences for drivers and passengers.
Bosch and Qualcomm Technologies are working to advance the digital cockpit, bringing enhanced visual and highly intuitive and personalized experiences through the support of Artificial Intelligence. However, bringing these solutions to fruition is no easy feat, and these platforms will only continue to evolve in the future.
In this engaging, future-forward webinar, Bosch’s Stefan Buerkle – senior vice president, sales, cross domain computing and regional business unit lead, connected information systems, Bosch in North America – will address the importance of the digital cockpit and their journey in bringing IVI solutions to life. Influential CIO, executive coach and advisor Tim Crawford will host this webinar to dive into what it takes to bring the digital cockpit to reality.
