Seeking Your Thoughts About In-car App Development
kevinSharp | 20 May, 2011 18:52
We would like to hear your thoughts about application development for in-car use and how the Car Connectivity Consortium and Terminal Mode specification meet your needs. The feedback received will be used to further develop the Terminal Mode specification, related business models, development tools and documentation. The survey period closes 29 May, so please respond today.
Here's the background if you haven't been following the work:
The Car Connectivity Consortium was launched in March of this year by Nokia and other founding members including vehicle manufacturers Daimler, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai Motor Company, Toyota, and Volkswagen; system suppliers Alpine and Panasonic; and consumer electronics makers LG Electronics, Nokia and Samsung.
This cross industry initiative aims to drive global innovation and standardization of in-vehicle connectivity, including the Terminal Mode standard. With the Terminal Mode standard, the connection of high-performing mobile devices to vehicle-based systems opens up a host of new opportunities for business and a world of innovative applications for consumers. Mobile devices could be tightly connected with in-car systems such as digital displays, steering wheel buttons, rotary knobs and car audio systems. Consumers could use a mobile device via the car controls, as if the device and its apps were integrated into the car itself. Terminal Mode is built upon a set of established standards such as Internet Protocol, Universal Serial Bus and Bluetooth.
The in-car connectivity brings also totally new challenges for application development; applications must be safe to use in a car by the driver. Application UI and content must be context aware, applications must acknowledge the priorities of the driver and cause minimal distraction. Distractive UI events, time limited user key presses, even content like video could be prohibited depending on the local regulations. Among the tasks for the Car Connectivity Consortium, device and car manufacturers, application developers, legislators and consumers are to contribute to the rules for in-car applications.

Genivi vs. Car Connectivyt Consortium
kevinSharp | 20/05/2011, 23:15
This from the Sr. Product manager behind the work, who emailed me very late in his day:
Genivi is an alliance mainly for in car infotainment system (IVI) manufacturers. Primary task for Genivi is to develop and drive adoption of their reference platform for IVI's. Genivi also works to ensure compatibility between IVI's, standardization of the connectors, IVI "docks", etc.
Car Connectivity Consortium is an alliance for car manufacturers, IVI and mobile device manufacturers. Consortium concentrates on managing technology standardization, including connectivity between IVI and smartphone, connectivity between IVI and car electronics/sensors, in-car NFC, wireless charging, etc. Consortium will also create guidelines and certification process for in-car electronics and applications, both for mobile devices and IVI's.

Genivi and Car Connectivity Consortium

Thanks Kevin for posting the reply on my behalf.
As explained the GENIVI was launched "in the interest of streamlining the development and support of In-Vehicle Infotainment or IVI products and services". GENIVI concentrates on "developing a reusable, open source IVI platform". You can check the GENIVI website for more details, GENIVI -> About GENIVI.
Car Connectivity Consortium further develops the Nokia originated Terminal Mode specification, solutions to other connectivity related use cases, like NFC. Consortium develops also protocol level certification, compatibility test suite and application level certification process and tool. It also manages and defines the consumer trademark for Terminal Mode and a common connectivity technology roadmap for IVI and Smartphone. Check the Terminal Mode website for more details, Terminal Mode -> Agenda -> Consortium.
For detailed questions about the Car Connectivity Consortium, or Terminal Mode specification you can send email to terminalmode (at) nokia.com.
GENIVI?

Can anyone explain, in a nutshell, the difference between this consortium and GENIVI? Or is one an aspect of the other? I'm confused...
