SELF-DRIVING CAR ENTERTAINMENT
Intel and Warner Bros are teaming up to provide entertainment for when you are travelling with self-driving cars.
As car manufacturers are working to develop their autonomous driving technology, the entertainment industry are getting ready for the day when your car drives itself.
Intel announced last week that they will be partnering with entertainment company Warner Bros to to study and develop special entertainment for driverless vehicles.
CEO Brian Krzanich made the announcement Wednesday at the LA Auto Show. Warner Bros will help create an experience for a concept car that aims to demonstrate what entertainment in autonomous vehicles could look like in the future.

“While the possibilities of in-cabin entertainment are fun to imagine, the ultimate test for the future of autonomous cars is going to be winning over passengers. The technology will not matter if there are no riders who trust and feel comfortable using it.
“From entertainment to safety systems, we view the autonomous vehicle as one the most exciting platforms today and just the beginning of a renaissance for the automotive industry.” Intel’s CEO Brian Krzanich wrote in the Intel Newsroom.
They will create a concept car, called the AV Entertainment Experience, which will showcase the potential for entertainment in an autonomous driving world.

I can't even imagine how that will be like but I'm probably not gonna use it. When I fly, I read or listen to music. When I ride with other people, I also read and listen to music. At the gym I read. Walking I read. Yeah........
Promoting this to Best of WOD. Really interesting!
Yeah it is very interesting. I'm not sure I would use it either, because I'm usually just listen to music anyway. Thank you!
That’s awesome! I would much rather watch TV or use the windscreen as a monitor during my commute than be crammed on a train without cell service.
Yeah, it does sound pretty cool - and a bit scary!
A bit scary is fun!
