VNC Automotive can automatically detect, access and control virtually any mobile device or desktop computer from a vehicle’s touch-screen or fixed input devices such as steering wheel switches and head unit buttons or menus.
With VNC Automotive, drivers can access their mobile content, such as navigation applications, traffic updates, music libraries and internet radio stations, whilst on the move. The technology also enables cloud connectivity to a remote desktop and other cloud based applications, as well as providing a link for automotive OEMs to access vehicle data and systems from a remote location.
In addition, RealVNC will be demonstrating VNC Automotive’s extensive capabilities to implement driver safety mechanisms to restrict or prohibit access to certain functions that may cause distraction whilst driving. As a core member of the Car Connectivity Consortium, RealVNC remains committed to providing a safe and seamless experience for smartphone users in their vehicles.
