Elbow grease and experimentation: the essence of the connected car

Posted By Windows Embedded Team

Last week on this blog, Pranish Kumar talked a little bit about Microsoft’s vision for the future of  the automotive industry and what needs to happen for the connected car to flourish.

That vision is based in part on nearly two decades of elbow grease and experimentation, working with some of the leading car makers and suppliers to the automotive industry. We’d like to think that our history in technology—and our experience developing software for use in vehicles—gives us a bit of a unique perspective.

Right now, there’s an infographic on the Windows Embedded automotive industry page that gives you a sense of our work and the lengths to which the Windows Embedded automotive team has gone to create what we consider to be one of the most reliable, updateable and extensible IVI platforms available.
