  • IHS Knowledge Nugget – November Issue Consumer Survey – Apps in the Car
    IHS Knowledge Nugget – November Issue Consumer Survey – Apps in the Car Colin Bird Radio is the original “infotainment” platform. Radio, more specifically music, is the leading entertainment application in the car. As display audio systems with multiple wireless and wired connection protocols for brought-in devices become more popular in the car, a proliferation of native apps and smartphone integration solutions are allowing new avenues for content. In the United States one content producer has capitalized on this disruption better than the rest: Pandora. Pandora Media Inc. has grown tremendously since launching in 2000 and today accounts for 9.3% of all the radio listening hours in the US, surpassing satellite radio’s 7.9% share, as of July 2015, according to Triton Digital, Radio Advertising Bureau (RAB), and the US Census Bureau. For perspective, 91.2% of persons 18 years and older listen to the radio, and of those 60% of that is in the car, according to RAB. According to the IHS consumer behavior study published in March of 2015, Internet streaming radio was the fourth most often selected option by US consumers for listening to music in the car. AM/FM Radio: 74% CD player: 64% Satellite radio: 43% Music stored on mobile device: 41% Internet streaming radio: 23.7% HD Radio: 21.9% Base: 1004 US new car intenders, Source: IHS, Inc. Pandora is one of the most prevalent apps in the car, at least in the US. Of those who stream internet radio in the car, more than a third say they use Pandora while driving.

  • Toyota Avalon: a Paragon of Premium Level Value, Now Advancing the Cause with Standard Toyota Safety Sense P
    Toyota Avalon: A Paragon of Premium Level Value, Now Advancing the Cause With Standard Toyota Safety Sense P September 29, 2016 Already a benchmark for style, comfort and available hybrid fuel economy in the premium midsize sedan category, the 2017 Toyota Avalon ups the ante for standard safety with the addition of Toyota Safety Sense™-P (TSS-P) for all grades. The TSS-P system had previously been offered only as an option on the Limited grade. The system equips the Avalon with Automatic High Beam, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection and Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist. The move to make TSS-P standard on all Avalon grades (and numerous other Toyota models) follows Toyota’s promise to offer TSS standard on nearly all its models by the end of 2017. That will put Toyota (and Lexus) four years ahead of the model-year 2022 industry target announced by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). V6 or Hybrid? A Wise Choice Either Way The Avalon was a unique midsize offering when it debuted more than 20 years ago, bringing class-above roominess and comfort to the segment. The Avalon remains unique in its segment for 2017 with the choice of powerful V6 or hybrid powertrains. The Avalon’s 3.5-liter, DOHC V6 with Dual VVT-i (Variable Valve Timing with intelligence) produces 268 horsepower at 6,200 rpm and 248 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,700 rpm. Teamed with a 6-speed automatic transmission, the V6 impresses with both its acceleration and its EPA-rated 24 MPG combined fuel economy (21 city/30 highway).

  • New-Generation Toyota Camry and Camry Hybrid Gain Interior Enhancements in Their Second Year
    New-Generation Toyota Camry and Camry Hybrid Gain Interior Enhancements in Their Second Year February 20, 2013 Following the introduction of the all-new seventh-generation Toyota Camry and Camry Hybrid for 2012, these midsize sedans enter the 2013 model year gaining enhancements to interior design and comfort and safety technology. The Blind Spot Monitor system, with availability expanded to the Camry SE grade, adds a rear cross traffic alert function. America’s best-selling car for 14 of the past 15 years, the Toyota Camry introduced a bold, sophisticated new design with a more spacious interior, improved driving dynamics and an even quieter ride than before when it debuted for 2012. The 2013 Camry Hybrid, which achieves 43 city MPG, also gains the interior enhancements of the gasoline Camry. A new soft-touch material is used on the front door panels on the Hybrid LE, as well as on the gasoline LE and SE grades, replacing harder plastic material used in the 2012 models. On LE grade models (including Hybrid), interior armrests now match interior color, replacing black. On models equipped with leather seating, the door panels feature new stitching accents. In other changes for 2013, the Display Audio screen becomes standard for the Camry L grade and Camry Hybrid LE. The gasoline Camry is offered in entry-level L, value-driven LE, premium XLE and sporty SE grades, with a four-cylinder engine on L and LE and a choice of four-cylinder or V6 on SE and XLE. The Camry Hybrid is offered in LE and XLE grades.

However, and recently programmable vehicle control (e.g., autonomous only a small portion of CAN bus commands is standardized, driving) [15]. and a vast majority of them is developed privately by car manufacturers. Today, the most effective way of revealing the Although CAN bus commands are highly valuable, only a proprietary CAN bus commands is to reverse engineer with small portion of them is standardized and the vast majority of real cars, which unfortunately is time-consuming and costly. them is developed privately by car manufacturers. As a result, In this paper, we propose a cost-effective (no real car needed) there are usually completely different CAN bus commands and automatic (no human intervention required) system, CAN- across different car models [20]. Over the years, a significant HUNTER, for reverse engineering of CAN bus commands using just car companion mobile apps. To achieve high effectiveness, amount of effort has been made to reverse engineer CAN we design an efficient technique to uncover the syntactics of bus commands for different car models.
