As the cars will be able to drive by themselves in the future and only need an intervention with drivers during the emergency situation that probably will happen quite rarely, Volvo is coming up with a way to keep the driver and passengers entertained during the journey. 26 Concept is the vision of the company's future in-car entertainment system for the car driving in the future.
For 26 Concept, Volvo will work with Ericsson, the Swedish telecommunications provider, to provide a smarter way to deliver video in the car during the trip. Therefore, the driver and passengers will be able to watch videos on Netflix while going to their destination. As the car should know about how long the trip will be on the basis of the historical figure and current traffic information, the system should be able to make recommendations on what shows or movies that are appropriate for the trip. On top of that for a region that has slower connections or unreliable, or total dead points, the system should be able to cache enough data to it would not disrupt the activity.
According Tylman Anders, head of Volvo Monitoring & Concept Center, working on the project, the car would know how long the journey required to make and can optimize the route and driving control accordingly. He added that their future autonomous driving technology to give people the freedom to choose how they would like to commute.
However, it could also mean that while previously, it only takes about 30 minutes to shuttle you from your office to your home, but since you want to watch your favorite movie that it ends, so you can choose to take the road more than at home.
