  • Microsoft Auto 4.0 Datasheet
    Driving Connectivity Microsoft Auto provides a flexible, robust, high performance infotainment platform that enables you to: Create innovative, differentiated solutions for your customers Reduce development cost and shorten time to market Keep your vehicles up-to-date with support for the latest technology 1 Welcome and Foreword The automotive industry is at an inflection point, where software plus services will redefine the future of the in-vehicle experience, and innovation is the new currency. This innovation goes beyond the features and scenarios enabled inside the vehicle cabin, it creates new vehicle ownership scenarios enabled on the web, the PC, and the mobile phone, and extends the relationship with the customer beyond the point of sale. These new scenarios require innovation in the business models and design and engineering processes used to bring breakthrough products to market. Consumers are expecting more from their vehicle systems, and from the level of integration those systems have with their other electronic devices and services. The key challenge facing automakers is how to bring these innovative solutions to their customers quickly and affordably, while maintaining a competitive edge and differentiation. The Microsoft Auto platform and Microsoft Auto Services are the critical components needed to deliver end to end scenarios on that challenge. Automakers face many challenges today, from competitive pressure and cost pressure at every point in the supply chain, to globalization of manufacturing and ensuring global applicability of solutions, and in marketing solutions in new and creative ways to sell cars faster. Microsoft is partnering with the automotive infotainment industry deeply to help address these challenges.

  • Vehicular Infotainment Forensics: Collecting Data and Putting It Into Perspective
    VEHICULAR INFOTAINMENT FORENSICS 0 Vehicular Infotainment Forensics: Collecting Data and Putting It into Perspective Jesse Lacroix University of Ontario Institute of Technology MSc Computer Science Thesis Author Note This thesis reports the general findings of what is stored long-term on a vehicle’s infotainment system and a reflection on how the data could be used. All funding provided by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC). Correspondence address: 8-3374 Muskoka Street, Washago, ON, L0K 2B0. Important note: I have been employed as a Digital Forensic Analyst/Investigator for the Ontario Provincial Police since June 2016. © Jesse Lacroix 2017 VEHICULAR INFOTAINMENT FORENSICS 1 Abstract In today’s transportation system, countless numbers of vehicles are on the road and later generations have become mobile computers. Vehicles now have embedded infotainment systems that enable user-friendliness and practicability with functions such as a built-in global positioning system, media playback device and application interface. Smartphones and laptops can connect to them through Bluetooth and WiFi for all sorts of utilities. This enables data flow between a user’s device and the infotainment system and because of this interaction, data remnants are kept on these embedded devices. It is important to determine what type of data is stored long term since this information reflects a user’s activity and potential personal information. In terms of forensics, this data could be used to solve criminal activities if a vehicle was suspected of being an accessory to a crime; raising general awareness about this topic is important due to the potential sensitive information circulated.
