That is not a criticism of the automakers; they are fighting against a
pace of innovation that is exceedingly fast – far faster than the
development cycle of an automobile. Apple releases a new version of its
iOS platform every year, and new version of Google's Android may arrive
at double that pace, saying nothing of all the security updates and bug
fixes in between.
By 2017, more than 60% of new cars in the US and
Western Europe will have some sort of network connectivity, making it
imperative to have cohesive, streamlined telematics systems that can be
upgraded at minimal cost. Aware of this, auto companies are making some
unlikely alliances to ensure their infotainment platforms stay fresh.
