Honda is teaming up with NVIDIA to bring a Tegra-powered embedded Android experience to the Civic's infotainment system. Dubbed Honda Connect, the system is powered by NVIDIA's Tegra processor and runs a skinned version of Android 4.0.4 on a 7-inch touchscreen in the car. Honda Connect, which is different than Google's Android Auto initiative, will debut on the Civic, Civic Tourer, and CR-V in Europe early next year.
With Tegra's high performance, Honda Connect will deliver a touchscreen experience that's much like a smartphone or tablet. It's intuitive to use, with clear, crisp graphics that are simple to understand and navigate. Drivers and passengers will get a fast response when using gestures like pinch, zoom and swipe.
