(PRWEB) March 10, 2014 -- Delegates will be given the chance to get up close and personal with top infotainment executives from the automotive community with 4 full presentations set to be delivered by Ford, BMW, SEAT, and Jaguar Land Rover. In the past few days, a brand new session named ‘The Internet of Cars’ has been added to the agenda to reflect the burgeoning interest of the consumer electronics community in the connected car. According to Cisco, the ‘Internet of Things’ is predicted to drive €10.5 trillion of economic activity and key OEM speakers will evaluate the opportunities of enhanced connectivity on telematics and infotainment.

Looking at the new session, Gareth Ragg, Project Director at Telematics Update commented, “The beginning of this year has been particularly rich in announcements related to the connected car. Google and Apple have made fresh plays in the automotive space and the connected car dominated this year’s International Consumer Electronics Show and was one of the biggest trending hashtags at the Mobile World Congress. It is for this reason that we have moved with the market and added this session. Talks are well under way with OEMs about who exactly will participate on this session. There will be a high demand”.
