TU-Automotive: Kia Motors & Fiat Chrysler Automobiles Discuss Apple & Google at TU-Automotive Europe 2015
London, UK (PRWEB) September 09, 2015 -- In recent weeks, the automotive and consumer worlds have sat up to take note of Apple’s attempt to land the services of the former BBC Top Gear presenters and Google’s very public reorganisation of its innovation branches, including its driverless car operation, into Alphabet. These moves show the level of importance each tech player is putting on the automobile – something that the connected car and mobility community is viewing with an equal measure of suspicion and excitement.
To find out if Apple and Google can recover from their inauspicious start in the dashboard and use the connected services that they are offering as a springboard to bigger and better things – i.e. manufacturing cars from end-to-end – the TU-Automotive Europe Conference & Exhibition this November will hear the views of Antonio Calderon, Connectivity & Infotainment Specialist, Kia Motors and Massimo Cavazzini, Uconnect, EMEA Head of Product Planning, Marketing & UX, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles.

Project Director for the Conference, Chris Breger said, “The smartphone vs. embedded infotainment battle continues to rage on. Although the on-board systems of the latest car models are packed with state of the art technology, many consumers still prefer to use the features on their smart phone. When we meet in Stuttgart, we will hear from those best placed in the industry to discuss the future of the dashboard and it’s sure to be a contentious affair”.
TU-Automotive Europe will not only look at the challenges and opportunities of offering the latest technology in the infotainment and navigation space of the connected car but will also look at how changing models of ownership, mobility and transportation will affect the car industry. Added to this, the conference will also explore the use cases, legislative challenges and data security and privacy concerns as the car becomes more automated. TU-Automotive Europe will unite the most senior executives in this space over 2nd-3rd November at the International Congress Centre in Stuttgart.
