Q How isTomTom helping OEMs bring greater connectivity to vehicles? A Connectivity and navigation are happening right now so the trend for OEMs is to embed navigation in their dashboard systems more and more. Despite the arrival of smartphones, still there is growth in the embedded systems. More expensive cars will offer embedded systems and the cheaper cars will have a smartphone-attached solution, but navigation will be a part of all because it is a ubiquitous need. Our strength is in the flexibility and modularity of the offering, as well as the incremental mapping updates that we can do.
