Additional Note: Connected cars with an embedded system are defined as vehicles that contain proprietary built-in interfaces (e.g., myAudi, AcuraLink, Subaru STARLINK, Mercedes-Benz MBUX, etc.) that connect to 3G, 4G LTE, or 5G VoLTE wirelessly through proprietary internet connectivity. Connected services include navigation and routing, infotainment (music, social media, news, etc.), diagnostic and telematic services, emergency and driver assistance and health and wellness.
