Here at Volvo of Burlingame we love reading stories that highlight Volvo's dedication to innovation, so the latest news out of the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, was right up our alley.
Yesterday, Volvo announced that it had begun developing intelligent, high bandwidth, streaming capabilities. Along with technology partner, Ericsson, the automaker is aims to ensure that customers can maximize their experience as soon production autonomous vehicles are a reality. By using Ericsson's network and cloud expertise, Volvo hopes to tailor content for the duration of each trip by predicting the passenger's route, and analyzing network conditions ahead.
Anders Tylman, General Manager of Volvo Monitoring & Concept Center, spoke confidently about the future of the project, saying: “We recently unveiled our design vision for fully autonomous cars with Concept 26. Now we are actively working on future solutions to deliver the best user experience in fully autonomous mode. Imagine a highway full of autonomous cars with their occupants sitting back watching their favorite TV shows in high definition. This new way of commuting will demand new technology, and a much broader bandwidth to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience.”
We're definitely intrigued by this latest development, and we can't wait to see what happens next.
