The Interior division bundles the full array of activities dealing with information management, i.e., the display, exchange, and administration of information in the vehicle. We network the driver, passengers, and vehicle (car-to-driver); the vehicle with the infrastructure (car-to-infrastructure); vehicles with mobile devices (car-to-device); and vehicles with other vehicles (car-to-car). "Always On" is our vision: Drivers should have any information they want available at all times and stay connected to the outside world when they want, while retaining complete control of their vehicles. Interior has a network of 62 locations in 22 different countries.
