Samsung has announced its new Samsung Automotive Innovation Fund – a $300 million investment venture that will enable the Korean tech giant to develop connected and autonomous car systems.

Harman is probably best known for its high-end audio systems, which are found in diverse places from recording studios and theaters to luxury automobiles.

Ford and HARMAN are working together to revolutionize the in-vehicle audio experience.

Harman is an industry leader in audio technology. Its products are found in a wide array of applications from home theaters and professional recording studios to, not surprisingly, automobiles.

Unless you’re an audiophile you may not be familiar with Harman. This company is a market leader in the sound business and chances are most drivers are well aware of at least a few of its diverse brands.

To deliver a proper luxury feel every high-end vehicle has to be equipped with an advanced sound system; it’s a prerequisite. To ensure its customers get the best listening experience possible Lincoln has just announced an exclusive 10-year partnership with Revel audio systems.

While other automakers are hesitant about getting in bed with Google, GM is pressing on and is looking to deliver an Android-based infotainment system in their new cars as  soon as 2016.

After announcing Android’s Open Accessory Protocol at this year’s Google I/O, techies around the world began brainstorming the integration possibilities of smartphones and tablets into even more of our everyday devices. Harman has now become the first major technology partner within the automotive industry to offer the new connectivity standard, which will allow users to seamlessly sync their smartphone or tablet to their vehicle. This will allow easily access to music, movie or navigation apps through the car’s dashboard or steering wheel controls.
