CES rollouts extend connectivity, app integration

The tightening links between autos and consumer electronics were in evidence at the 2016 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas as several automakers and suppliers unveiled infotainment technologies. Connectivity and simplified app integration technologies were among the many transportation offerings at the monstrous show.

Vendors throughout the industry unveiled connectivity products. An amplifier was among Harman's connectivity offerings. It uses a customized microcontroller to provide connectivity, noise cancellation, equalization, and surround sound. That trims size and complexity significantly.
