Processor manufacturers already cooperated with car manufacturers and suppliers of entertainment systems. For example, Audi used solutions based on Tegra 3 processors .
Intel has announced that its next partner in the implementation of Atom processor in a car entertainment system will be Nissan company . In the New York Auto Show was shown a sample of such a system with two screens installed in the electric vehicle concept Infiniti LE. It is expected that production of Nissan models with a system based on Atom processors will appear in 2013.
Partners intend to further develop in this direction. Using a smartphone, you can be notified about the car in the parking lot caused injuries and even view pictures from the scene taken by regular cameras. Smartphone with NFC may also act as an electronic key that allows access to the interior of the car and start the engine.
It should be noted that Intel processors are already used in car entertainment systems brands Toyota, BMW, Mercedes-Benz.
