Digital map provider Kingwaytek Technology has launched an in-car IoV (Internet of Vehicles) device based on 4G in the Taiwan market. The device features navigation functions, cloud-based telematics and driving-related software.
Through cooperation with Chunghwa Telecom, Kingwaytek has established Autoking, a 4G-based Internet-connected open IoV platform which enables map updates and provides cloud-based information on road conditions, available parking spaces, and weather along planned routes, Kingwaytek indicated. Autoking allows independent software developers to distribute value-added applications, Kingwaytek said.
Kingwaytek aims to ship 20,000 units initially and 500,000-1,000,000 in 5-10 years.
