Infotainment’s move to the Ethernet: the canary in the mine for the car’s future backbone?
Remember Ethernet cables? Those essential devices for tapping your PC into a local area network (LAN) before WiFi connectivity was a given? Well, they are making a comeback in automotive form for the connected cars of the future.
Data demand for today’s connected vehicles are increasing ever more. Sometimes it is not just the connectivity requirements that are to blame. Infotainment and the demand for (or supply of) enhanced human-machine interface (HMI) experiences — such as Nio’s virtual avatar or augmented reality satellite navigation — are behind the increase.
