Last week, the AutoTech: Connected Cockpit Digital Symposium made clear the continued importance of AM/FM to drivers. Research shows that 71% of people worldwide still consume broadcast radio, but how that access looks in the car is different than in the past. Today, dashboard entertainment systems are not only offering new options like HD Radio, but Xperi SVP Jeff Jury says they are also improving the visual experience of radio listening. “The radio has been around for many years, but it is evolving,” Jury said. “It’s still the main medium for most people. And that doesn’t mean it has to look like radio from 25 years ago. We can provide much more information that goes along with what’s being played over the air, and that experience becomes really next generation compared to what it was a few years ago.” “Why are so many people still listening to such an older form of audio? One is the simplicity of it. All the stations are very well known. And then there is legacy,” said Dan Henderlong, at Hyundai. “It’s been in there for such a long time, and that’s just what everybody is used to.” But he thinks as new technologies arrive in the dashboard, if radio is able to be there alongside streaming audio, it will increase the usability of the medium. Jury thinks the lean-back experience of AM/FM as well as its simplicity will serve the medium, and drivers, well even as some new “bells and whistles” are added. “At the end of the day, the fact that you’re driving is what keeps it front and center in the dash,” he said....

High end audio at its best.

In a recent interview with Oliver Callan on Ireland’s national broadcaster, RTÉ radio, Provizio CEO Barry Lunn shared his journey from a background in aero-defence and radar technology to leading the charge in revolutionising automotive safety. Barry and colleagues founded Provizio with a mission to prevent crashes and improve road safety. Five years on, Provizio’s 5D Perception technology delivers industry-leading perception capabilities while optimising sensor size, weight, power, and cost for large-scale, mass-market applications. With the ongoing introduction of stringent active safety mandates in the US, EU and elsewhere, it’s clear that the demand for robust perception systems is continuing to grow. By collaborating with industry leading suppliers and OEMs, we believe Provizio will play a crucial role in making roads safer over the coming years.

The fast majority of us listen to AM/FM Radio. The in-car ad-supported audio clock: AM/FM radio represents the vast majority of tuning minutes in vehicles. What happens in an hour of U.S. ad-supported audio in the car? The clock below was determined by multiplying “Share of Ear” in-car shares of ad-supported audio time spent by 60 minutes.
