The navigation of tomorrow
Navis fill the shelves of electronics chains and are now found in almost any car - for a lot of money cheaper than fixed or mobile set. But what are the systems from the next generations of vehicles? hp pavilion dv6000 battery
Whether Asia, Europe or the United States - almost all manufacturers are currently researching with electronics companies in the multi-function systems of tomorrow. Festival seems to be that it will be found in navigation and entertainment most of the technology outside of the car. "We need sufficient data transfer rates," says Catherine B枚lsterl, BMW responsible for the technology development of telematics systems: "Then in the car almost everything possible."
The times in which high-tech car and the data snails GSM or GPRS worked against each other, appear soon be yesterday. First to come in two to three years in place of the UMTS mobile data turbo LTE (Long Term Evolution). Second, the industry is just in the city and along the highways on WiFi zones.
First, in about five to seven years, should the inner cities of metropolitan areas will be provided. The advantage is that the occupants of the cars can always see a working and fast data connection and unlimited data download. So far, you can forget something like this: Even the high-tech mobile of the new 7 Series from BMW has to manage the Internet access with the relatively slow transmission speed EDGE networks. hp pavilion dv9000 battery
Those who visit in the parking lot times just wanted a website or online looking for an address, who knows how slowly a new 750 Li can be when it is not about driving yourself. The problem is not so much the built-in vehicle technology but the lack of infrastructure. "On that we are" absolutely dependent on our developments, explains Ralf Guido Herrtwich, responsible for Daimler for the development of navigation and telematics systems. But he is also certain: "The whole would soon no longer be a big problem."
Daimler recently introduced its latest myCommand with the control and navigation system of the Mercedes-future, which should be the S-class reality in the next-generation model. While in the vehicle drives currently store all important data for music, entertainment, navigation and phone, medium hoarded probably only a few basic data in the car itself.
"We assume that vehicles have the foreseeable future, some of the data in the car - according to a large disk or storage media - and get the latest information via data transmission," Catherine B枚lsterl looks to the future.
Something else you see in the Mercedes. Ralf Guido Herrtwich: "I think that in the medium term means all significant data offboardOffboard: not built into your car, but as a separate technical component. Today, integrated into the vehicle navigation systems are used onboard, the off-board mobile counterparts. be brought into the car. In the car it will only give a small memory for buffering of data - even when not connected to the network. " hp pavilion dv2000 battery
"Most content is then purely web-based," predicts Herrtwich, "and they are only as needed from a central server sent in the car - of course personalized." For information and entertainment, the Internet solutions corresponding advantages over the currently used systems in car.
updated "by radio to automatically each time the engine starts and brings the software up to date on a continuous basis," says Herrtwich. "Also, all individually gathered data and information is always current and available to the inmates always available, without complicated procedures are necessary."
Bedientechnisch the whole thing is simple and shows few significant differences from the current navigation and multimedia systems such as MMI (Audi), Command (Mercedes) or iDrive (BMW). These systems already offer a range of amenities to present movies, 3D route guidance and hard music.
But who has currently been access to the very best routes for each trip? Or common to all radio stations? The dream, his U.S. favorite station to listen to Smooth Jazz 95.7 in Los Angeles in L眉neburg via car radio is to meet with the web radio of the future. Mainstream monotony of Bavaria 3 or Dudelfunk of Einslive then belong to the past. lenovo 3000 n200 battery
Even more important than acoustic and visual amenities for the ride in the car are safety information. With appropriate infrastructure, not only the drivers get all kind of information from his mobile car computer - his car was supplied without active intervention, the traffic centers with important information about traffic flow, accidents and congestion.
At great progress not only electronics and car fans wait in vain for years. Even the ten years after the first great wave of mobile data promised big turbo is at best so far on the horizon visible. The new technical developments are likely to have to wait five to ten years up.
The mobile operators will see the progress in the mobile vehicle, not only with joy. If nationwide high-speed data connections exist via WiFi, the drivers may in the Internet telephony (VoIP) use. The free telephone calls and data transmissions are of particular interest to business people who generate the majority of mobile revenues at T-Mobile, O2, E-Plus and Vodafone.
At least the driver and front passenger seem much longer the same picture on the same multi-function screen to see. Systems such as dual-view or split screen with a dot pitch ensure that the passenger to surf the net or watching a movie can, while the driver simultaneously by the different viewing angle, the navigation map in view. The premiere for this will be in the new Mercedes models in the E-and S-Class, Opel will follow with the Insignia.
Unusually fierce fighting, the developers of the operating concepts. Especially the German manufacturers are known to the controller or turn-push-digit. More and more companies are of the opinion that are increasingly complex because of the systems and control options on the touch-screen there was no way. lenovo 3000 n500 battery
In our latitudes 26 letters or the few paragraphs 0-9 for the input. In Asia, but it will take up to 3,000 characters to enter the appropriate address or a song. This is useful only for touch-screen or voice input.
"We put in the car to operate primarily on the language," says Katharina because B枚lsterl. This can be seen from manufacturers like Audi, Mercedes, Volvo and Fiat has little else to fight but the fact that the systems are in demand for voice not even mediocre.
