Building on Audi’s modular infotainment platform, known as MIB and introduced in 2012, the automaker’s next-generation platform will begin appearing in next year’s models.
The award-winning Audi Connect system brings an unprecedented level of integration into the car, enabling Google Earth and Google Street View navigation, as well as real-time traffic and parking information – all accessible via speech and handwriting recognition. The newest system, powered by Tegra 3, will more than double the performance of its predecessor.
Automotive-Grade Tablet
Audi also launched a new category of mobile device, known as a Smart Display. This multimedia computer powered by a Tegra 4 processor is designed for rear-seat use, yet seamlessly integrates with the car’s audio and video systems. It has been hardened to withstand a wide range of operational conditions, from -40 degrees Celsius to 80 degrees Celsius, and to withstand the shocks and vibrations that driving conditions can present.
Featuring a 10.2-inch screen, the dockable tablet runs the latest version of the Android operating system, with full access to Google Play and the Android App Store for hundreds of thousands of e-books, music, games and films that can be enjoyed by passengers in the car.
