With time running out on 2018, Amazon has suddenly started delivering a bunch of the Alexa-connected devices it announced in September. However, it’s looking more and more like the Echo Auto that links its virtual assistant to your car stereo won’t be one of them. Despite some flip-flopping by Amazon’s website, AFTVNews notes that the product page has recently changed, and instead of saying invitations for a pre-release program will go out this year, it simply allows users to get their names on a list.

Another adjustment is in its potential support for navigation apps. While it previously promised support for Google Maps, Apple Maps and Waze, it now specifies that support for the latter two will arrive in 2019, presumably at some point after the hardware is first released. There’s also a support page listing phones that definitely won’t work with it, so we have bad news for anyone hoping to link their Nexus 4 to the device.

With the first 5G phones expected in 2019, carriers in the US and abroad are busy laying the groundwork for faster data speeds. Japan’s three biggest mobile networks are aiming for a similar timeframe, a year ahead of their original 2020 schedule, to coincide with the Rugby World Cup. One of the country’s leading carriers, NTT DoCoMo, has now announced a 5G milestone with the help of Mitsubishi Electric. Together they hit 27Gbps during outdoor trials in Japan’s Kanagawa Prefecture.

According to NTT DoCoMo, it marked the world’s first 5G transmission to exceed a peak speed of 20Gbps using one terminal, with a communication distance of 10 metres attaining the 27Gbps speed, and a speed of 25Gbps over 100 metres.

The trials utilized 16-beam spatial multiplexing in line-of-sight conditions, where massive-element base-station antennas on the wall of a building channelled beams to mobile-terminal antennas installed on the rooftop of a Mitsubishi vehicle, according to Mobile World Live.

They claim the same method could be used to transmit high-speed connectivity to vehicles with multiple passengers like trains and buses. The two companies said they achieved the high 5G speeds by building more advanced beam-forming technology.

But NTT DoCoMo isn’t alone in chasing 5G in-car speeds. Last year, mobile carrier Softbank installed 5G base stations at Honda’s test course in Haikkado — the northernmost prefecture in Japan — to test smart car connectivity. It also began trialling 5G as far back as 2016 in conjunction with Ericcsson, while NTT DoCoMo has partnered with Huawei on its own tests, and fellow carrier KDDI tapped Samsung for its 5G field trials earlier this year.

Rumors have been circulating that Spotify is working on some sort of hardware, possibly an in-car controller or a standalone player. As The Verge reports, a number of Reddit users have claimed to have received offers for the device, with plan price points ranging from $ 12.99 to $ 14.99 per month, but when they clicked the offer that appeared in the Spotify app, they were directed to an error page. Some have also reported that their offers noted that the device had 4G built in.

The player has also been brought up in Spotify support forums, with administrators saying it was a test or that they didn’t have any news on such a product. According to screenshots of the offers, it appears that the device would also support voice control. Relatedly, Spotify began testing in-app voice search last month. Spotify declined to comment.

The fact that multiple people have received offers for this device suggests it’s an actual product, though there’s no telling when it might come out. There is a Spotify event scheduled for April 24th and the company says it will be making “a news announcement,” but it hasn’t given any hints as to what that might be.

Spotify officially went public this week with an unconventional IPO that was largely deemed a success.

Update 4/6/184:40PM ET: This post has been updated to include Spotify’s response to our request for comment.

–

As automated and connected cars roll into dealerships over the next decade, they’ll need high-bandwidth networks to support these critical, data-hungry functions. Korean automaker Hyundai says it is committing to faster ethernet connectivity to power the core of its next-gen vehicles.

–

The Korean automaker has announced that it will “accelerate innovation, provide ‘over the air updates,’ and shorten the life cycle in bringing new capabilities to market” by using ethernet at up to 1 gigabit per second (Gbps). A collaboration with Cisco will see primarily ethernet-driven Hyundais hit the market starting in 2019.

–

Electronics in modern cars have become incredibly complex, but they’re slower—like, 10,000 times slower in data throughput—than a USB 3.1 port. Most cars connect their electronic control units (ECUs) via a controller area network, or CAN. Bosch introduced this standard in 1986 to reduce the weight and cost of heavy wiring harnesses, and it has proven to be a robust, reliable, and inexpensive network for in-car use. While initially meant for automobiles, CAN has moved into the marine, aerospace, and medical industries, where some hospital operating rooms rely on it. But CAN can’t manage adaptive suspensions and other drive-by-wire systems with precision. It also can’t process sensor data from radar, lidar, and visual cameras fast enough. For fully autonomous cars—or even for one pedestrian-detection alert—CAN just isn’t the answer.

–

As a serial interface, a CAN bus can only transmit or receive one bit of data at a time; compare this to the multiple packets of bits sent and received by your mobile phone. Speeds can top 1 megabit per second, which is essentially the gap between a 3G and 4G cellular network. CAN simply can’t keep up with sensors spewing out data greater than 100 times a second. Ethernet, by contrast, has a maximum data output that’s 1000 times faster than the fastest CAN interface.

–

But gigabit ethernet, despite how cheaply it can be embedded on computer motherboards, is expensive in a car. So far, it has been limited to infotainment systems like Jaguar Land Rover’s InControl Touch Pro and other similar uses; other leading in-car networks, such as FlexRay, have speeds of 10 megabits per second and can handle functions such as adaptive cruise control. Yet the fact remains that it’s neither simple nor cheap to make cars run as fast as our USB ports. Network security, electrical interference, cable length, and syncing dozens upon dozens of ECUs are things that keep automakers’ software developers and electrical engineers up all night.

–

–

Hyundai isn’t looking to replace CAN, nor is it suggesting the industry should. Many simple controls, such as for brake lights or window switches, will still be wired with CAN for many years to come. Until the R&D costs of ethernet (or another faster technology) come down, most cars will use a combination of CAN, FlexRay, and ethernet.

In-car listening has come a long way in the past decade. Where satellite radio used to be one of the few ways to get live digital shows in your car, it’s now trivially easy to bring your phone into the car and stream virtually anything. And SiriusXM knows it — the company has launched a new platform, 360L, that brings some of the creature comforts of internet streaming to in-car satellite radio. To begin with, there’s simply more to listen to — you can listen to on-demand shows, not to mention channels that were previously online-only.

You’ll also get personalized recommendations for both channels and shows. You may get a suggestion for an on-demand show from the channel you’re listening to, and that can steer you toward another live channel. Sports fans get a few perks as well. They should have an easier time finding a broadcast for their team during a live game, and they’ll get wider access to official broadcasts for more college and pro teams.

The interface itself has received a boost. There’s now a more dynamic layout that changes based on content, and you can set individual profiles so that another driver (or a discerning passenger) can have their own presets.

SiriusXM’s new platform is premiering in the 2019 Ram 1500, where a 12-inch touchscreen offers plenty of breathing room. Production for the new pickup starts in the near future. Is this going to sell you on the Ram, or the concept of satellite radio? We wouldn’t count on it — if you’re already used to plugging in your phone for some streaming, you probably aren’t going to subscribe to SiriusXM. This is more for maintaining the loyalty of the satellite faithful who might be tempted by the alternatives.

–

Touchscreens, voice controls, console-mounted clickwheels, touchpads—with all the different systems out there, which kind offers a safe, minimally distracting interface? None. That’s the distressing finding according to new research from AAA.

–

New cars of all categories place excessive demands on a driver’s mental workload, and automakers don’t block enough non-driving features while their vehicles are in motion, the study concludes. As a follow-up to a 2014 study conducted by the University of Utah that compared automaker systems and Apple Siri, AAA conducted a deeper dive of 30 cars with triple the number of test drivers. Researchers recruited 120 drivers with a median age of 25 to monitor how they reacted to inputting navigation directions, reading and sending text messages, dialing phone numbers, and operating the stereo. Each driver repeated those tasks using voice controls, the touchscreen or buttons on the center stack, and controls on the center console over a two-mile stretch of road at 25 mph. (Before you judge the results or become defensive, read the report’s 104 pages to see how tightly controlled and thorough the researchers were. It’s more detailed than anything the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has conducted.)

None of the 2017 model cars—30 pickups, large SUVs, crossovers, sedans, and hatchbacks—had an interface that AAA considered “low demand.” AAA found most drivers took more than 24 seconds to finish many common tasks. Following NHTSA distraction guidelines released in 2013, that’s the recommended maximum time drivers should be glancing from the road and completing a task while driving.

–

Tasks that took more than 24 seconds biased a vehicle’s score toward higher demand, while tasks that required less than 24 seconds resulted in a lower overall demand. Most distracting was navigation, which only 12 of the 30 cars were equipped with. On average, it took drivers 40 seconds to program directions, regardless of the input. At 25 mph, that’s the equivalent of traveling four football fields while fiddling with a screen.

–

Among the most distracting infotainment systems AAA tested were those in the Audi Q7, Ford Mustang, Honda Civic, Tesla Model S, Volvo XC60, and seven others. Those cars were rated as requiring Very High demand from the driver. The 11 vehicles rated as High demand included the Cadillac XT5, the Ford Fusion, and the Toyota RAV4. The Ford F-250, Lincoln MKC, Toyota Corolla, and four more vehicles were rated Moderate demand. While some cars with identical factory systems scored higher or lower than one another, keep in mind that a Mustang’s dash and vehicle controls are much different than those in a Fusion, for example.

–

–

Regardless of car, AAA found that while voice commands lowered eyes-off-the-road time, the systems still stole drivers’ attention by taking much longer to finish. Touching a button or screen for two seconds, AAA said, was safer than interacting with voice controls for 20 seconds. Touchscreens and knobs on the center stack were deemed least distracting, while controlling these screens via touchpads, dials, and switches in the center stack were most distracting. Voice commands split the difference. Text messaging was more distracting than phone calls or operating the stereo. While some systems blocked inputs at speed, many didn’t. And it’s here that AAA has its biggest beef with automakers.

–

–

“Our objective assessment indicates that many of these features are just too distracting to be enabled while the vehicle is in motion,” the study said. “Greater consideration should be given to what [infotainment] features and functions should be available to the driver when the vehicle is in motion rather than to what [infotainment] features and functions could be available to motorists.”

–

–

–

AAA agreed with NHTSA that, in a moving car, on-screen messages unrelated to driving should be limited to 30 characters or less. The group also says that automakers should never display or allow drivers to input addresses, 10-digit phone numbers, text messages, websites, or social-media apps while driving. Some automakers are getting smarter: The Porsche Panamera, for instance, blocks the driver from configuring the car’s numerous system preferences while in motion, and Toyota grays out address inputs and Bluetooth device pairing. Our own response-time testing of various infotainment systems and our subsequent comparisons underline AAA’s point. Automakers seem far more interested in adding capabilities to their cars than they do is making those capabilities safe to use.

In-car entertainment systems have become much more sophisticated with the dawn of the connected car, with the likes of Spotify now integrated into many vehicles, while Google recently revealed it was developing a version of Android specifically for cars that works without the need of a smartphone.

Put simply, cars are fast becoming the new battleground for technology and entertainment companies to gain a foothold to sell their respective services.

One notable omission from current in-car entertainment systems is video — that is, mainstream visual entertainment services hardwired into the very fabric of the vehicle. There is of course good reason for that, one of them being that drivers shouldn’t be distracted while navigating busy thoroughfares. But pay TV network Epix has today provided some details around its video streaming app that’s being integrated into the 2018 Honda Odyssey.

Honda’s upgraded fifth-generation minivan was announced earlier this year, and we already knew all about its on-board infotainment system and 10.2″ rear-entertainment screen that swings down from the roof, capable of screening content from the car’s built-in Blu-ray player and any device plugged into the HDMI port.

While it is already possible to stream anything you like in any car through a smartphone or tablet, or in some vehicles by tapping the built-in HDMI and USB ports to hook your Chromecast up, a bona fide cable TV network built into the automobile’s fabric represents a minor milestone for the connected car revolution.

MGM-owned Epix is making its slate of subscription-based movies and shows available to those sitting in the second and third rows of the Honda Odyssey, which is perfectly in line with the “family focused” facet of the car. Those hour-long journeys to soccer practice or family road-trips suddenly get a lot easier with the likes of Epix and PBS Kids — which has also been announced previously for the new Honda Odyssey — onboard.

“As vehicles evolve to become the ultimate mobile device, we are pleased to work with Honda to develop new entertainment experiences for second and third-row passengers and pioneer this next chapter of streaming video and true TV everywhere,” noted Epix CEO and president Mark Greenberg.

Honda riders have access to around 2,000 movies and shows from this library, as well as four live linear channels, and the ability to “queue” content — this is particularly useful for parents who don’t want to be fiddling around finding new shows to put on while driving at 80mph. Rear-seat passengers are also able to control their entertainment without relying on those up front.

Additionally, if a driver needs silence, the kids in the back can connect to the system via wireless headphones, or the driver can simply turn off their front-row speakers to minimize the racket. The Honda actually comes with a number of neat new features to enable front-to-back communications, including CabinWatch and CabinTalk which not only lets those in the front observe rear-based passengers through their dashboard screen, but also talk to them through a built-in microphone. Even if the kids in the back are wearing wireless headphones, the audio from the screen is muted whenever the mic is activated.

Moving forward, Epix said that it has a “deep roadmap of innovative features” coming up, including the ability to download content to the Honda entertainment system using “other mobile devices in and out of vehicles,” according to Epix chief digital officer, Jon Dakss. “We’re also tracking the rapid technological advances in the autonomous vehicle space as we believe they will create extraordinary new ways for people to access premium content while they travel,” he added.

Costing $ 9.99 per month, Epix is available through games consoles, smatphones, tablets, smart TVs, set-top boxes, and now connected cars.

The Waylens Horizon is an interior-mounted car camera that records HD video from the driver’s perspective. While you might be inclined to consider the Horizon another dash-cam clone, its features and functionality separate it from the majority of the pack; for example, it uses an OBD-II dongle to capture vehicle data and overlay that information over the video feed. While OBD-II data overlay has been among the feature sets of more expensive setups for years, it’s never been as affordable—or as seamlessly integrated—until now.

–

We were provided a Horizon unit for review recently. At first glance, its architecture represents a radical departure from just about every other camera on the market. Its conical shape is curious, but the form factor allows for a 1.39-inch AMOLED display without adding significant bulk to the entire package. It also provides enough room to house a seven-element aspherical lens and a 1/1.8-inch backlit image sensor. This all translates into a very high-quality 1080p image with good low-light performance compared with many competitors.

The interesting aesthetic can also create its own set of challenges, particularly mounting; the options are limited because of the unique design as well as the accessories. The single suction-cup mount attaches to the camera unit via a quick-disconnect mechanism. The camera is then powered and charged through this suction-cup assembly, effectively eliminating other mounting options for continuous usage. The mount itself was not as stable as we would have preferred; traveling over rough roads created shakier footage than we expected.

–

The Horizon captures video in a continuous-loop mode. The user can manually trigger a highlight function by pressing the single-button remote control. Highlights saves video clips of predetermined duration both before and after the push of the remote button. That duration can be changed using the Waylens smartphone app. For our testing, we set the duration for 30 seconds before and 30 seconds after button press, yielding 60-second clips. This allows you to capture a window of time for future playback, even if you can’t press the highlights button immediately once you start to see events unfold in front of you that you want to capture.

–

–

The brains behind much of the Horizon’s functionality are found in the companion smartphone app. The app is a hub for videos and a way to access all the settings and parameters of the Horizon camera. You can very easily share videos and car data to all the usual social-media channels, and the Waylens app also allows you to share your videos with other Waylens users—including bragging rights to the fastest zero-to-60-mph and zero-to-30-mph times via the Leaderboard section. If you’d like to edit your content on a more robust platform, Waylens offers its own Waylens Studio desktop application as well.

–

–

Given the technological wizardry and the upscale design language of the Waylens package, who is the primary audience? The Horizon is aimed at automotive enthusiasts eager to record their escapades both on- and off-road. While it is certainly capable of doing that, scrolling through the Waylens user-video section shows a more common and general-purpose use: Many users are capturing footage of poor driving behavior and even accidents happening right in front of them. The unique highlight-and-capture functionality lends itself to documenting and sharing such events quickly, without searching through hours of computer footage. As with most new technology, early users will shape the direction of future development.We suspect you could think of uses for one.

The Waylens camera is available for $ 499.95 via the Waylens store.

You may have noticed pretty much every wireless carrier is now offering an unlimited data plan. They’re actually trying to outdo each other. Not wanting to be left out, Chevrolet is the first automaker to join the fun, offering a new unlimited version of its OnStar hotspot data plan through AT&T.

Chevy owners can get unlimited data through the car’s WiFi hotspot for just $ 20 a month, which compares well to the current rates for its AT&T-backed plans: 1 GB for $ 10, 4 GB for $ 20, or 10 GB for $ 40. As before, those with AT&T cellular plans can tack the charge onto their bill. The in-car data connection can be shared by up to 10 WiFi devices, and it has a better antenna than your phone does.

Of course, these unlimited plans don’t always offer unlimited high-speed data. Most give you a certain amount at 4G LTE and then throttle the rest of your usage for that month. Chevrolet doesn’t mention any such limit, and the OnStar site hasn’t been updated with details on this new plan yet, but it’s likely that the car’s hotspot will be treated like any other AT&T device on an unlimited plan and be capped at 22 GB of high-speed data. That’s still a fair amount of fast data, but just be sure to read the fine print before signing up.
