USB In Automotive- Not Just For PCs Anymore
Universal Serial Bus (USB) has long been the ubiquitous standard for PC peripheral connectivity, but recently USB has started venturing into the automotive market. MP3-supported stereos, DVD players and advanced GPS navigation systems are all part of “infotainment” automotive electronics designed to provide “information” and “entertainment” to passengers. Equipping our cars with these high-tech gadgets requires a sophisticated, yet simple, form of communication – a role USB has been performing its whole life.
