Wireless Automotive Leaders Meet to Discuss a Potential $50 Billion Industry
SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 19 EyeForAuto,
( http://www.eyeforauto.com ) announced today the industry leaders on telematics
speaking at the EyeForAuto USA 2000 event. The Conference takes at the
Fairmont Hotel in San Jose on Nov 29 - Dec 1.
Attendees and speakers at EyeForAuto USA 2000 will discuss the latest hot
topics in telematics and wireless applications for automotive manufacturers,
suppliers and associated companies.
"Automotive telematics is the hottest new technology for automotive
customer relationship management, driver assistance and road safety for
manufacturers, automotive suppliers and technology companies by 2002," Says
Toby Webb, CEO of EyeForAuto.
"Consumers and automotive companies alike are beginning to realize that
wireless communication for vehicles opens up a whole new medium of
entertainment and interactivity for drivers, and a whole new profit
opportunity for manufacturers, auto suppliers and content and technology
providers. By 2010, this is likely to be a $50 Billion industry, and
companies that are not involved now will miss out in a huge emerging market."
"We're already seeing the major Manufacturers setting up spin off
telematics divisions to deal with this whole new market in the coming months
and years. This is not a side issue for both the automotive industry or
mobile content providers -- we'll see more and more partnerships in the next
few months, in just the same way as we did with automotive online CRM last
year," says EyeForAuto's Webb, an industry expert in the field.
Attendees of the Conference will discuss the key issues with CEOs and
other Senior Executives from ATX Technologies, Lear Corporation, Onstar
Communications, Mercedes-Benz USA, Toyota Motor Sales USA, Motorola Telematics
Communications Group, Johnson Controls, Siemens Automotive, Collins and Aikman
Corporation, Webrasca Mobile Technologies and Denso North America to name a
few. Case studies of both manufacturers and technology providers will provide
an insight into where the industry is moving in 2001 and beyond.
