This then ended the digital trend debate at the Frankfurt International Motor Show (IAA) about analog or digital control. The latest Audi A8 improves the voice command feature, so the driver can speak in a personal style to function the car’s features, and the system can execute it or know what it means. And from several research results, it describes changes in the history of the automotive industry in 2020. Not only automakers and the IAA will change, but also automotive component suppliers such as Continental, Magna, ZF and Bosch. While many car manufacturers such as Nissan and Volvo involve Facebook for the first time in their car products. This points to the direction of future cars which will be equipped with high-performance computerized systems that can do everything.
