An article in Consumer Reports magazine asked the question, "Worried about drivers talking on cell phones?"

As the article goes on to explain, we're moving way beyond that now. "Don't look now, but the guy in the next lane could be searching the Web or posting a Facebook entry as he maneuvers in traffic. With the exploding popularity of smart phones and social networks, automakers are increasingly looking at how they can attract customers by integrating those types of functions into their cars.

Such in-car technology is quickly being integrated into broader infotainment and navigation systems, an area of auto technology that's rapidly expanding. "Within five years, 90% of new cars will ship with connected car features," predicts Dominique Bonte, group director of telematics and navigation at ABI Research, a technology consulting firm. For consumers, he says, those services are now "extending their connected lifestyle into the car.""

As most of us know, the use of wireless technology in-vehicle is expanding at an unprecedented rate. Over the last 10 years, we have witnessed a shift in vehicle architectures from closed to open with regard to connectivity. This shift is opening many opportunities for both the automotive supply base and 3rd-party entrepreneurial developers.

In this month's Mobile Monday Detroit, we'll explore the current state of the connected vehicle and what to expect in the future.

In his presentation, Mike Coletta will offer a information that will establish the underlying wireless technologies associated, major trends at both the technical and policy level, and discussion of emerging technologies over the next 10 years. He will pay particular attention to the differences between embedded and tethered (i.e., Smartphone-based) Telematics. In addition, adjunct applications to the connected vehicle will be discussed, such as mobile health and the connected home. Lastly, Mike will explore business opportunities for the mobile community in this dynamic and growth-oriented field.

The meeting is FREE to attend, though reservations are required for security and catering purposes.
