Although the IT technology will become a vehicle comfort, convenience paradise, but the car's own IT equipment often face very harsh environment for the survival - endure several more vehicles, the car hot or cold, damp or even dust, and other conditions Test, to ensure that in these circumstances not only can not be easily damaged, but normal work. Therefore, the automotive IT equipment in many technical requirements are more stringent than the office or home equipment. For example, navigation instrument in the hard disk drive, need a very comprehensive security protection measures, in particular a very high earthquake performance; automotive display, in addition to the mechanical strength and thickness of the harsh requirements, should also be in brightness, contrast, Perspective and other areas have higher targets in strong sunlight to ensure that effect, even in high-temperature environment inside the guarantee of life. At present car is basically a liquid crystal display terminal screen, but a new generation of flat panel displays, such as OLED life is to overcome the obstacles likely to be applied to the large number of vehicles.

Pioneer northeastern Japan on display for the last car dashboard of 1.9 to 2.7 inches OLED, Toyota, in order to improve the environmental performance of the display with white LED light source for the mercury-free LCD screen. Japan jointly developed by several companies iVDR hard disk, a comprehensive adaptation of the harsh environment, it can be taken from the design is very suitable for automotive equipment and household equipment exchange of data, Hitachi also recently displayed by the car iVDR Navigation systems.

The view was expressed that the current IT revolution is only the beginning of motor vehicles. Automobile manufacturers and their technology partners are research and development of wireless systems, will send more produce unexpected application: a car in the remote fault diagnosis, remote monitoring of vehicle performance and data collection (for the latter part of accumulated experience in research and development), and even The owner is not perceived in the case of software sent through wireless means to upgrade the car, and so on.

Gartner analysts T hil oKoslowski: "personal network tentacles are extending to the car." This means that the car would with any other IT equipment, as long as the individual network access will be equal in status, that is, the link with the outside world car will not exclude any form of network, all kinds of wireless technology will find use in Wu land. At present the beginning of the application mainly rely on GPS satellite network and mobile communication networks, mentioned above; we have been in the car audio and MP3 players, home network between the wireless transmissions of data. In the future, Bluetooth, UWB, Wi-Fi and WiMAX wireless technologies have the potential application of the large number of cars or car within the contact with the outside world, then, the car will not completely seamless integration into the network.
