BMW and Hyundai Join Group on Promoting Future In-Car Connectivity
BIMMERPOST NEWS BMW and Hyundai Join Group on Promoting Future In-Car Connectivity BMW and Hyundai have joined global tech firms Broadcom, NXP, Freescale and Harman to create the OPEN (One-Pair Ether-Net) Alliance special interest group, whose goal is to develop future generation ethernet-based automotive networking and connectivity. Specifically, the group's goal is to promote adoption of ethernet based connectivity as the standard for future generations of cars. The group encourages the adoption of Broadcom's BroadR-Reach cable as – specifically developed for automotive applications, as the open standard. This technology allows transmission of up to 100 Mbps over a single unshieled wire. Not only does this speed up in car networking and connectivity, but it should eliminate internal networking cabling, hopefully shaving a few pounds off a vehicle's weight in the process. For automakers like BMW, the increased networking/connectivity speeds should improve infotainment, safety, and telematics technology. The related press release is below. PRESS RELEASE
