New communication technologies have given rise to novel services and business models for consumer electronic devices, while low-cost wireless connectivity means have enabled ambient connectivity among mainstream consumer electronic devices. In the years to come, it is expected that new lifestyle solutions targeting mobile connected entertainment will be extended well beyond the home environment to cover in-vehicle services. Recent market forecasts validate this momentum, expecting revenues from in-car connected services to top $152 billion by 2020 [1]. As a result, automakers are pursuing innovative applications for car safety, driver assistance, and in-car well being and infotainment by directly connecting the car with the cloud (Fig. 1).

Abstract
New communication technologies have given rise to novel services and business models for consumer electronic devices, while low-cost wireless connectivity means have enabled ambient connectivity among mainstream consumer electronic devices. In the years to come, it is expected that new lifestyle solutions targeting mobile connected entertainment will be extended well beyond the home environment to cover in-vehicle services. Recent market forecasts validate this momentum, expecting revenues from in-car connected services to top $152 billion by 2020 [1]. As a result, automakers are pursuing innovative applications for car safety, driver assistance, and in-car well being and infotainment by directly connecting the car with the cloud (Fig. 1).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
