Video: Airbiquity on embedded telematics and brought-in devices
In this video from Telematics Detroit 2013, Keefe Leung, director of product management, Airbiquity, discusses ways to integrate embedded telematics and brought-in devices.
He sees embedded features continuing to play an important role in safety and security, but brought-in devices defining in-car infotainment. Ultimately, he expects the industry to move beyond what he calls a very “isolated, siloed, disparate” app experience and pursue higher levels of integration.
“Each app is separate – you have to launch this app, launch that app,” he says. “I think really what’s going to be the magic time is when they all coalesce, and somebody can give you the customized experience [of] just going into one app, and it has absolutely everything I need, when I want it.”
