The document provides a summary of research conducted on the Honda infotainment system. It describes the components of the Honda system, findings from online research which showed consumer dissatisfaction around speed and intuitiveness. Fieldwork at a Honda dealership provided insights from a sales consultant and observations while using the system, such as the screen freezing while driving and use of physical buttons. A survey was also administered to understand pain points.
Predictive Innovations within In-Car Infotainment, Jaguar Land RoverInnovation Enterprise
The document discusses predictive innovations in in-car infotainment systems using artificial intelligence and cognitive prediction. It describes how in-car systems can use real-time driving data, a vehicle's computing capabilities, and cloud-based artificial intelligence to provide extremely personalized predictive features around navigation, communication, and entertainment. Specific examples discussed include suggesting alternative routes in response to traffic or the driver's mood, context-aware audio switching and equalization, predictive parking assistance, and proactively communicating schedule changes to a driver's contacts. The goal is for vehicles to act as intelligent cognitive assistants that learn from past driving habits and behaviors to intelligently offer personalized recommendations.

The document discusses implicit interaction systems, which can sense user behaviors and context to provide assistance without explicit commands. As an example, an advanced smart trash can is described that can recognize items thrown away, communicate with other devices like a refrigerator, and use location data to send grocery reminders to the user's phone when they enter a store. Implicit interaction exists on a continuum with explicit interaction and utilizes sensors and contextual awareness to infer user needs rather than requiring direct inputs. Emerging technologies like eye tracking and advanced voice recognition move interaction closer to the implicit end of the spectrum.

2. With so much in-car infotainment, finding a suitable
means of communication between components is a big
challenge.
Consumers are demanding more and more in-car entertainment in their
vehicles, presenting manufacturers with the challenge of how to deliver
it. There have been innovations like rear seat entertainment packages
that have moved a long way since their appearance as video screens in
headrests, and are becoming increasingly sophisticated.
These days, delivering all this is not just a case of running a few more
wires for extra amplifiers and speakers. The whole
entertainment package including video screens
for DVD display needs to be interfaced with other
aspects of the car’s electronics.
Even modest cars have features that were once
exclusive to the luxury end products. These can
include reversing cameras, satellite navigation and
sensors all of which have to interface seamlessly
with the entertainment systems.
Car manufacturers have universally adopted
the Controller Area Network [CAN] concept that
has many advantages for a car. Predominantly it
reduces the amount of wiring in the vehicle saving
weight and cost. However, CAN is designed to
be low bandwidth limiting its capacity for handling
entertainment data.
Creating a Dialogue
Currently the dominant technology for
infotainment networks is MOST®
, although there
is a growing feeling that a lack of openness is holding back progress. So,
what other alternatives are there for in-car-entertainment networking. For
some time now the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers [IEEE]
has been looking at good old-fashioned Ethernet as used for years on
small computer networks.
The IEEE’s Audio Video Bridging [AVB] task group has been working on
technologies designed to enable the use of this technology. It has now
proposed draft standards that, with minimal changes to existing hardware,
could allow established Ethernet technology to support the automotive
needs of the future.
There are significant challenges associated with
the task. For instance, automotive systems have
to deliver a number of requirements in real time
like indicator alerts or navigation commands. This
can be problematic with a network that relies on
buffering to bridge the gap between packets of
data. Networks can be ‘tuned’ to get around this
problem but that would require a specific design
for each installation.
A solution is the IEEE’s Stream Reservation
Protocol [SRP]. It allows bandwidth to be reserved
so endpoint applications can configure routes
eliminating the need for them to be designed in.
SRP checks that enough bandwidth is available
before transmission of audio-visual data starts.
It then locks down that capacity along the entire
path until that capacity is actively terminated.
It’s All About Timing
