Standardizing automotive multimedia interfaces

For a variety of reasons, vehicles have lagged behind home and mobile computing devices when it comes to productivity and multimedia tools. Safety, durability, cost, and design time have all factored into auto manufacturersʹ delayed acceptance of the new technology. The paper discusses standards for automotive multimedia interfaces. Organizations such as the Automotive Multimedia Interface Collaboration (AMI-C) have an opportunity to be the driving force behind standardization efforts.
