(PRWEB) October 11, 2013 -- With the importance of in car connectivity continuing to rise, especially amongst tech savvy younger drivers and those purchasing in the low to mid-range vehicle segments, so has the bar for services that this connectivity is enabling. However, as this in-car connectivity continues to hit the headlines of the mainstream press, identifying the telematics fads from the indispensable in car services and apps has never been more difficult yet more crucial.

I am very pleased to announce that Steve Schwinke, Director of Application Development at General Motors has just joined the first-class line-up of speakers set to take the stage at the Content & Apps for Automotive 2013 conference in San Francisco.

Post this

Kevin Link, a senior VP at Verizon Telematics, has the infotainment area pegged as the sector undergoing the greatest transformation and, therefore, at biggest risk for fads. Hardwiring a social media application or a music streaming service into the vehicle is dangerous, as there’s no telling what will happen in five years’ time. “If the company fails, you’re left with a button in the head unit that doesn’t do anything,” He continued, “I know what the killer app is, and it’s the app that can replace the killer application,” he says. “Today, in the U.S., people are crazy about things like Twitter and Facebook, but these can come and go in a time frame of two years.”

Telematics Update, event director Gareth Ragg stated, simply delivering personal preference is no longer sufficient for in-car content and apps. Those companies who will avoid the fads and lead the next generation of connected car services will need to harness variables such as weather, time of day and even trending data into their content to deliver a context rich experience.”
