]]> Comment on The Connected Car – ngConnect by Andy Gryc http://mediatype.ca/2009/11/05/the-connected-car-ngconnect/comment-page-1/#comment-444 Andy Gryc Fri, 06 Nov 2009 21:03:01 +0000 http://mediatype.ca/?p=36#comment-444 <p>There are several points, actually. Many communities are outlawing actively using phones in the vehicle. A system integrated into the vehicle can not only provide a safer experience through disabling features while driving, but also provide better natural language recognition and text-to-speech to allow texting while still keeping eyes on the road and hands on the wheel. And by locating those features on back-end servers in the cloud, they can be a lot more powerful than those traditionally used in cars or phones. An in-car system can be integrated into adaptive cruise control, cameras, or other range sensing equipment to make sure the driver is aware of their surroundings. An integrated system can provide crash information for emergency response, road condition info to municipalities, and vehicle diagnostics to the automaker. Because so much of modern cars are software (lots of firmware in many different modules in the car), a connection lets the automaker send updates to modify or fix the vehicle software as problems are identified. The car can host far more powerful equipment too. Screens can be much larger than what you'd carry in your pocket. Car antennas are far more powerful, both in watts, but also by multiple placement, to guarantee reliable connections. Having a system that's part of the car makes it so that it's always present and charged for emergencies, traffic conditions, or even just plain old voice calls, unlike a mobile which you may forget or may be dead.</p> There are several points, actually.

Is this a new feature in the "QNX Car" platform? Ideally, I should be able to stream via either RTSP/RTCP or by fetching a file from its URL over HTTP and play it through the MME? How does the MME support this? Where can I find more details on Internet streaming offered by the MME?</p> Dan, I am pretty familiar with the MME but was surprised to hear that it supports Internet radio integration.

I think QNX needs to reach out to the author, Wayne Cunningham, so that he understands QNX's superior integration (and market share!). About 200 car models ship with QNX technology in them, which is <em>way</em> more than Microsoft.</p> Good points, Dan.
