MOST - In-Car Infotainment Trends

Number of Multimedia Components in Vehicle Platforms

More and more features and

components per car
Introduced in luxury
segment but migrating into
mid and low range
Components increasingly
interact to provide higher
value features
Issues with that:

Need for extensive

exchange of signals
Complexity and weight of
cabling
Avoiding Electromagnetic
Emissions becomes more
complex
