With connectivity constantly on the rise, you can be sure that Toyota will sit high atop the technological mountain. The automaker's first step in ascending? Forming a partnership with information corporation, Intel. Both at the forefront of technology within their own industries, the two will merge together to create pioneering, in-vehicle infotainment systems.

At this point in time, details for the merger remain vague but O'Brien Toyota Scion can tell you for sure that Intel and Toyota have signed a memorandum of understanding and are ready to jumpstart joint research. Company officials also revealed that at the top of their priority list rests driver safety. Both seek to create a "cabin tech platform"¹ that will increase connectivity while allowing drivers to keep both hands on the wheel and both eyes on the road.

In addition to increased safety, future systems will see advanced communication. This means that not only will drivers be able to better communicate with their new Toyota models but vehicles will be able to "socialize" with other vehicle on the road. With vehicle-to-vehicle chat in place, drivers will gain quicker information on traffic patterns and general road updates.

We at O'Brien Toyota Scion know that saving time by staying informed on the road is critical for daily operations. That's why we guarantee to keep you up-to-date on the latest Toyota advancements.
