VNC Automotive Partners with P3 to Enhance Android Automotive-powered SPARQ OS IVI with Seamless Smartphone Integration
OEMs choosing SPARQ OS can now offer seamless smartphone integration, enhancing the in-vehicle experience
Through this collaboration, automakers choosing SPARQ OS platform can now offer Cobalt Link+, VNC Automotive’s cutting-edge solution that seamlessly integrates smartphone functionality into the connected vehicle environment, further enhancing the in-vehicle experience.
Cobalt Link+ enables user interface mirroring of smartphone, allowing users to access mobile apps, services, and content directly through their vehicle’s infotainment system. It ensures a smooth user experience by integrating mobile devices with the vehicle's technology, allowing drivers to safely access essential applications like maps, music, and communication tools through voice or touch controls, all while maintaining the performance, safety, and user experience standards of a modern AAOS-based IVI environment.
In addition to its ease of integration and customization capabilities, Cobalt Link+ offers intelligent connectivity through a thin client head unit, enabling smartphone-centric features without the need for frequent software updates, simplifying the in-vehicle technology cycle.
VNC Automotive solutions provide customizable User Interface (UI) and User Experience (UX) options, allowing OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers greater flexibility in tailoring the infotainment system to meet specific needs.
Cobalt Link+ offers a unified interface for device detection and management, seamlessly handling multiple devices and protocols running concurrently. Its modular architecture allows users to select only the necessary functionalities, simplifying integration while maximizing the reusability of individual modules.
Among the key protocols supported by Cobalt Link are Android Auto and CarPlay, seamlessly integrated into SPARQ OS, in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) platform. Android Auto enables the mirroring of Android device features to a vehicle’s in-dash information and IVI systems. Similarly, CarPlay allows an IVI system to serve as both a display and controller for iOS devices, enhancing connectivity and user experience in modern vehicles.
“This integration marks a key milestone in VNC Automotive’s continued innovation in vehicle connectivity, driving the next generation of in-vehicle infotainment systems globally,” said Tom Blackie, VNC Automotive Founder and CEO. “We are proud to join SPARQ store and are looking forward to building on our partnership with P3, and offering drivers worldwide a better, more seamless connectivity experience.”
“Our partnership with VNC Automotive marks a significant step forward in redefining in-vehicle connectivity,” commented Marius Mailat, CTO & Managing Director of P3 digital services. “By integrating Cobalt Link+, we enhance our Android Automotive OS platform's capability to deliver seamless smartphone mirroring and control.”

Handel

Mercosur to tylko wierzchołek góry lodowej. UE ma ponad 40 umów handlowych, które mogą destabilizować rynek rolny
Umowa handlowa między UE a krajami Mercosur może znacząco zaburzyć konkurencję na rynku rolnym i osłabić pozycję unijnych, w tym polskich, producentów – ostrzegają rolnicy i producenci żywności. Umowie sprzeciwia się część krajów unijnych, które domagają się klauzuli ochronnych oraz limitów importowych. – Problemem jest jednak nie tylko ta konkretna umowa. Chodzi o cały system wolnego handlu, który się kumuluje z dziesiątek innych porozumień – podkreśla Andrzej Gantner, wiceprezes Polskiej Federacji Producentów Żywności.
Firma
Dzięki zdalnej weryfikacji tożsamości z wykorzystaniem AI firmy zminimalizowały liczbę oszustw. Rozwiązania wykorzystuje głównie sektor finansowy

Z najnowszych danych Eurostatu wynika, że w 2024 roku 5,9 proc. polskich firm korzystało z rozwiązań z zakresu sztucznej inteligencji. W 2023 roku był to odsetek na poziomie 3,67 proc. Wciąż jednak jest to wynik poniżej średniej unijnej, która wyniosła 13,48 proc. Jednym z obszarów, który cieszy się coraz większym zainteresowaniem wśród przedsiębiorców, jest weryfikacja tożsamości przez AI, zwłaszcza w takich branżach jak bankowość, ubezpieczenia czy turystyka. Jej zastosowanie ma na celu głównie przeciwdziałać oszustwom i spełniać wymogi regulacyjne.
Prawo
Daniel Obajtek: Własne wydobycie i operacyjne magazyny to filary bezpieczeństwa. Zgoda na magazyny gazu poza krajem to rezygnacja z suwerenności energetycznej

Były prezes Orlenu ostrzega przed zmianami w ustawie o zapasach ropy naftowej, produktów naftowych i gazu ziemnego. Jego zdaniem przygotowana przez rząd nowelizacja tzw. ustawy magazynowej i ujednolicanie unijnej polityki energetycznej to zagrożenie dla bezpieczeństwa energetycznego Polski. W jego opinii tylko silna spółka narodowa, własne wydobycie, krajowe magazyny i zbilansowany miks energetyczny zapewnią Polsce bezpieczeństwo i konkurencyjność.
