Tokyo, Japan, 25 March 2019 − ACCESS CO., LTD today announced that it will demonstrate  the latest evolution in In-car infotainment in the In-vehicle Experience theater at NAB Show (#IVE-4, In-Vehicle Experience, North Hall, Las Vegas Convention Center, April 8-11, 2019).

The rise of in-car connectivity is driving a wave of innovation for the media and entertainment industries and transforming the relationship between automakers and the consumer. At NAB Show, ACCESS will showcase how this trend extends to new forms of in-car infotainment services through a series of on-booth demonstrations, as well as a panel discussion in the In-Vehicle Experience (North Hall, Las Vegas Convention Center) on April 8, 2019 at 2:00pm PT.

Entitled ‘Turning the car into a tailored entertainment hub’, the panel discussion will feature ACCESS Europe’s CEO Dr. Neale Foster alongside Evan Stalter, Digital Product Manager at Electric Vehicle manufacturer BYTON; and David Couret, Technical Director at France24.

“EV manufacturers like BYTON are a prime example of how disruptive innovation is transforming the market, which fits perfectly into our vision for an immersive, multimedia future inside the car. I am looking forward to showing how we can bridge the gap between the next generation automotive industry and media producers at NAB Show,” said Dr. Neale Foster, CEO at ACCESS Europe. “The content and automotive companies that will make a success of in-car media will be those that work together to ensure that IVI delivers the experiences that drivers and passengers enjoy and need. It is an honor to join both BYTON and France24 to provide insight into the synergies between both industries at NAB Show.”
