How Imagination is steering the automotive industry to a safer futureWith Imagination Blog - Benny Har-Even, ImaginationAug. 12, 2021 |
If you’re in the market for a brand-new vehicle there’s a good chance it will feature a digital display, providing a rich, next-gen feel to the user experience and offers a huge amount of flexibility as to how the display can be set up.
