Harman and Nokia Develop a Smartphone and Car Computer

Harman and Nokia have announced that they were working together on a project to develop a standard of data transmission between smartphones and on-board computing devices of the car. These devices will exchange data on GPS navigation and media-data, information services and data from the device’s sensors. Thus, in case of a low balance of fuel in the tank the phone will be able to find the nearest gas station, and in case of necessity – to book a room at the nearest hotel.

It is also planned to bring in an expanded assistance to the drivers and inform them about safety in different situations. In addition, other applications of the smartphone will also be integrated with the computer of the car – thus, the car owners will be able to view the content of the smartphone on a big screen.

USB devices and Bluetooth have been selected as an interface to connect to various devices.

In spite of the participation of Nokia in the project, partners plan to establish an independent standard, which could be used by other manufacturers too.
