A new study on in-vehicle navigation V-checker V301 system technology
has suggested that sales for such systems will more than quadruple in
the coming years, though today's manufacturers will not be leading the
charge. With an increased focus on price and functionality, high tech
companies like Apple, Google, and Microsoft are positioned to become the
vanguard of navigation system innovation, which will render today's
versions from V-checker V301 companies like Harman, TomTom, and Denso all but useless.
The conclusion of the study, performed by Boston,
Massachusetts based market research firm Strategy Analytics, Inc.
stated that worldwide sales will jump from 9.5 million in 2009 to more
than 56 million by the year 2019, and from an estimated 3 million this
year to 12.9 million in the next seven years. China is projected to see
the greatest increase in sales, growing from today's sales of just
355,000 to more than 11.8 V-checker V301 million by 2018.
The current iteration of navigation systems has received mixed
success across worldwide markets; countries like Japan readily use the technology,
though North America has been slow on adopting systems beyond cheaper,
third party systems. Rather than spending as much as thousand dollars or
more for systems built into new cars, consumers have been picking
cheaper, aftermarket versions that can be mounted on the windscreen Volvo Vida Dice or
dashboard which can cost as little as a hundred. This high cost and
questionable level of functionality has been keeping consumers away from
springing for the factory installed versions of these systems, though
Strategy Analytics, Inc. believes that change is on the way.
Manufacturers have finally begun to identify that cost is the
technology's biggest hurdle, and are working to integrate systems on a
much cheaper scale, involving high-tech companies like Google and Apple.
Because these companies already possess navigation vas 5054a infrastructures like
Google's Maps and StreetView, the process of developing an in-car
system is relatively straightforward and inexpensive. Ford has already
implemented its all-encompassing ‘Sync' system, developed by Microsoft,
which gives drivers a voice activated system that can control every
electronic aspect of the vehicle, and can be used to operate their
navigation system. Other car makers like Audi, GM, and Kia are also
working to develop similar high tech and cheap systems.
