The latest infotainment platform from automotive supplier 260 Continental provides the integration of driver assistance functions with a camera system offering 360-degree surround view, Continental’s first application linking driver assistance and infotainment. Depending on the size of the vehicle, the system consists of at least four of Continental's surround view cameras, which capture the entire area around the vehicle.

The system also delivers location-based services with Nokia's 3D navigation platform Here, enabling location-based applications such as 3D landmarks and current traffic information to be called up through the online connection.

The infotainment platform automatically connects to the Cloud via AutoLinQ technology with direct access to the fast LTE mobile data network, enabling drivers to access their favourite music stored at home. Through an HTML5 portal, users can access a whole range of automotive-compatible apps.
